I have my regular investments, saving accounts, etc. but I do collect Moran Silver Dollars and Gold Double Eagles.
These are just something I enjoy having, to me it's like buying art, classic cars, or old guns. And when things get tough I can use them if needed, vs. trying to sell some old paintings, an old car, although my old guns will stay with me.
Gold and silver are good for hobbies, not great for investments.
