Seen as an advertisement in USA Today:

Imagine finally getting something that will never lose its value. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it’s true and word is quickly spreading about the free handout of Armored Safes that are being stocked full of never-circulated U.S. Gov’t issued coins and currencythat by law will never be minted again.

Those who claim cash will “never lose its value” apparently don’t understand inflation. And make no mistake, cash is what they’re selling here. A bunch of rolls and stacks of uncirculated coins and bills. You can pretty much buy those at a bank. For face value.

These free Armored Safes are being turned over to the general public who make it in time to beat the order deadline for their share of the hoard of brilliant, never-circulated U.S. Gov’t coins and currency before the 72 hour shutoff. … This valuable Collection will never, never, never lose its face value. You will always have something worth a lot of money.

You know what’s worth even more money? The money that I have now, that I will not use to buy your crappy money and your “free” safe.

U.S. Gov’t Savings Bonds used to be a favorite way to keep money safe and popular to give as gifts. But no one can take a Savings Bond and go buy something with it. That’s why this hoard of valuable coins gives everyone the comfort of having full control of their money. No matter what, they will never lose their U.S. cash value.

See: inflation. You may not be able to spend a bond, but you can earn interest on it.

If times ever get really tough, any coin in the hoard could be used to buy anything. But unless it is a good reason, only a fool would do that because this personal hoard of money is already worth so much more in collector value.

Yeah, apparently worth more to me. When I pay far more than face value for these coins, bills, and a “free” safe. What a joke.

I remember the good old days, when you had to gather your personal hoard yourself. Now, apparently you can just buy it out of the paper.
