  5. cash and place under mattress. money market funds will break dollar e.g. drop below $1 so better to have cash yourself.

  6. better would be money market mutual funds that invest in t-bills. they have the same safety, same yield, lower commissions and greater liquidity.

  8. +1 If you drop it on your foot and it hurts method always works. Don't forget there is usually a very wide spread on the buy/sell for the physical good. Most coin/metal brokers play the same game as stock traders do. Another option is art/antique investment.

  9. I have 'invested' some cash there as well.

    Rate of return hasnt been that great but still better than being long the dollar.
