Cool is not the word I'd use :D

I have a fair amount of silver. Several 1kilo ingots I mainly use as paperweights and a lot (over 1k) of coins. The coins I got for historical significance. My most interesting would be a silver sheckel of Tyre - the type reputed to be that used as the 30 pieces of silver from the bible. Lots of forgeries around but even if it is I'm not that bothered. There is enough there to make me comfortable with the provenance. A King John (he of Robin Hood fame) silver penny too. Mostly I bought the stuff when I had the money so that I wouldn't spend it though I most certainly will spend it at some point to keep myself alive.

It really isn't cool at all.
