I was trying to stick something on the top shelf of my gun safe and inadvertently knocked over a $100 face value bag of Peace dollars. Since my hands were full, I instinctively reached out with my foot to break the bag's fall. Unfortunately, I was just wearing socks at the time... [The swelling has started to subside and I don't think I broke anything.] |

OUCH! But if you have to be hit by something - what a thing to be hit with!

I would rather be hit with a bag of Peace dollars than a solid bar. |

 All I heard was "I'm so rich, my safe isn't big enough to keep all my money."  |

Sorry to hear that, Barry and TBK. Neither of those episodes sounds like much fun. I never realized that collecting bullion could be so hazardous! I will try to learn from your situations by not repeating them!  |

the fellows that work in the federal reserve gold vaults wear special magnesium shoe covers over steel tipped shoes in case they drop a bar on their feet

I'm just surprised nobody has asked yet whether the coins were damaged at all...  [For the record, I had the coins in clear plastic tubes within the bag and 4 of the 5 tubes were cracked and/or smashed. The coins themselves seem to have escaped unscathed, however.] |

barryg, throwbackid, I was having a chuckle at your expense and then the ad between your posts gave the "DOOOH" moment;  I thought it deserved a screenshot!

Given just how flammable Mg is and how hot it burns (over 3,000°C), one would think that they would be better off with cheaper shoe covers made from 1/2" thick rubber pads, rather than a Mg shoe cover. Sigh... only government.  |
