Good link. Thanks.

Gold coins are about the size of a quarter. If you have 20, you could hide them separately almost anywhere in your house. Tape one behind a piece of furniture, slide one into a crack in the wall, put one into an old coat pocket, shove one into the sofa, stick one in a drawer. Think Easter-eggs. A really thorough thief could maybe locate a few. One with any brains wouldn't even bother. Needle, haystack, etc.

Your only problem will be remembering where you put them all.

Remember to tell someone where you stashed your treasure. Draw a map or give instructions to a relative. You can die at any moment and you won't want to leave your "estate" to the next home owner.

Also, leave a small decoy stash in a easy to find location. It should be enough to convince the thieves that this is your only stash. Hopefully, they will leave after finding it or forcing you to tell them where you have hidden it.

Give it to the government. The administration can be trusted to safekeep it for you. See, they're spending our social security money instead of putting it in a trust fund for us. Gosh, I just feel so good about that. The government knows best.
