And thoidly: I've often thought seriously about gold coins over the last
decade or so, but always baulk at the prospect of _another_ kind of
slimy **** taking his percentage when he sells it to me, and then
another percentage when he buys it back from me, when I'll need the cash.

My wife has two half sovereigns.

Part of the marriage goods:-)
