I remember when I was a kid in the 80s, my grandparents gave me a piggy bank... it was a big white plastic hound.... but it was a piggy bank to put coins in. My other friends had piggy banks as well that their parents or grand parents bought them. It was a lesson in saving. If I were a kid in the 5s and filled that up I'd have enough to pay several months rent perhaps. but in modern coppernickel currency that deflates, it would be enough to buy a TV. Did Nixon kill the piggy bank?

I'm keen on the 2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Second to that would be the John Wick gold round from Apmex. What gold would make your day?

From what Apmex says, it's an exclusive. They did their first run as proofs, the second as uncirculated. According to the site they are near ready to issue another run of the uncs. I do like the fact that it's a 34mm round which is more in line with the diameter of the old Double Eagle. I wish the Gove would have made the gold eagles in the old scale as well. No everyone needs to be falling in line with Krugerand dimensions. Well... hopefully they won't sell out before I can get one from the next batch. I'm a sucker for Hollywood repros.
