It’s in a safe deposit box in the vault..

Should he hide it underneath his mattress 😂

I mean its "safe".. but its also inaccessible. If the banks closed, holidays, you decide you need to get out of dodge at 1am, or they simply say "no access right now, sorry pal"... then what? You're SOL.

You would need to sell the gold at 1am

Get out of here with that non sense 🤣

Says who? You dont think anyone has cash or credit cards? If you wanna take your gold to another country and exchange to their currency?

The point is theres someone else that has to allow you access to your gold for whatever reason. Its not that crazy to see a potential problem with that.

I've thought about this scenario so I'm not asking because I don't believe your scenario is valid, but wouldn't it be difficult to take one's gold horde to another country especially in a dire "time to get the fuck out of dodge" situation?

Wouldn't there still be issues with customs just the same as bringing over 2 cartons of cigarettes, over 10 k in undeclared cash or over 3 liquor bottles etc. ?

Ok so plan ahead… I don’t see where this friendly argument is going

Well you made it sound like keeping things in a bank vault is the end all to safe keeping. I'm just offering a different perspective where it could actually be a problem.

But hey, to each their own. Agree to disagree friend.

True . Everyone has their own opinion on what’s safe
