Gold Coins

If you start now by collecting gold coins for your kids or grand kids, they can cash them in when college time rolls around and those coins will pay their tuition. It is one easy way to save for the future without really thinking about it.
Many well known families of today began with coins: JP Morgan, Onassis family and the Rothschild family too. Mayer Amschel Rothschild began collecting gold coins when he worked in a coin shop and he learned the value of collecting coins. That family then become the richest in the world.
Many people became so rich by gold coins that the government took them all away and the gold certificates and bullion also and if you were found owning any, you were considered an outlaw. Fort Knox was then built in 1933 so there was a safe place to put all the gold. Forty one years later, people were once again allowed to own gold, thanks to President Gerald Ford who authorized private ownership again. The very first gold coin ever minted was the Half Eagle that featured Lady Liberty and that was in 1795.
