Here's an idea: Set out airtites of gold bullion rounds happening the tops of your cap fan blades. You would bear to tape them go through well and balance the slant out so you don't stimulate gold flying around when you flip on the switch. You'd be sitting there rational I've got X ounces of amber spinning around up there and nobody knows! Nothing can go wrong with that setup, right?
Mom's parents were doing pretty well as a newly-man and wife going into the Depression -- they had few thousand dollars in the savings bank, which was a tidy sum for a young mate at that time.
They lost it all, naturally, and he was out of work for a age. My mother's earliest memory is of her father coming back to the house, and her bring fort asking "Did you feel any work today?"

As I interpret it, for the rest of their lives, they always had Cash just about the house. I think Mama specifically mentioned mattresses. All three kids were witting of it, though, so I trust none of IT slipped through the cracks when they were wrap up the estate.

The house is still occupied. I've toyed with the idea of buying it someday, and going through it with a fine-toothed comb -- but I know nothing about real estate surmise, except "put on't lead with your heart".
Clause did not mention the prime location my friend World Health Organization used to gut houses said he always found. He same the number one hiding localize he found money was in closet floors. Makes sense, you do not postulate to walk happening these places, and they are out of sight. He said to either side of the door, (secret areas), people would create fictive floors that could be far and money secret underneath. I bought an awful lot of coins from him over the long time, and then I assume He knew what atomic number 2 was speaking about.

Balanced or not, the added weight would probably blaze up the motor.

I was intelligent that or warp the blades. Those blades are not designed to hold weight. I hold seen pennies used to balance them bend them out of shape complete time.

My parents were born in 1904 and 1914 and put-upon to tell USA kids about The Great Slump often. My Dad was a civilised engineer with a good wage, but confused his job and was hot enough to find a farmer WHO took him in for zero remuneration, just room and board. He and my mom did not have any money to enshroud. A friend of mine found a jarful of large cents while renovating his house, none of which were worth bundle. Still, helium was some excited when atomic number 2 found the jar.
How most putting sweaters or light jackets in your closet and filling the pockets with coins? Or putting your safe under the couch-peoples butts will be session on TONS of auriferous!
When our house was burglarized a few years ago, the police told us that burglars are usually looking for flat-dialog box TVs, but our old CRT TV was untouched.
Those old CRT TV cabinets have a spate of space inside...
My grandmother old to vei silvern coins in jars andone of her favorites was to wrap them in rags and obliterate them in old paint cans. That way on that point wouldn't rale if you shook the can. She also hid paper money in books and magazines. After my grandparents died we had great trouble keeping my grandfathers irregular wives sister out of the house. (We were buying the property with contents) every time we cam by we would bump she had been there "cleaning up". Which meant fervent all the old magazines, books, cans, jars etc. And all time we would lift skyward digging through the ashes of the burn pile recovering the coins and sometimes fragments of paper money. My grandfather also used to employ family pictures every bit bookmarks in the books he record, so we unredeemed most of those as well. After we managed to get her impermissible we still found several cans of coins and there are still areas in the top of the barn we have never gotten around to searching.
I have a ally WHO hides coins in his freezer. He say's that he ever has icy cash just seance close to.

All though my grandfather didn't grow over up in the depression helium always buried money in glass jars on the various barns and sheds happening his property heck my dad caught him doing it few multiplication.
I knew a blackguard WHO did that, but his married woman threw it extinct when she cleaned out the Deepfreeze. Information technology was over 20 Grand. They actually known as the townsfolk to learn which part of the dump that days ice was nearly probable to be. They searched for three days and nothing. I keep mine in the depository financial institution

Leaving through a relative's menage, I constitute a few priceless coins in their innovational mint packages. They were stored inside packing fizz in cardboard boxes that originally held cheap glassware (vases, etc) that had been purchased at a tupperware-style habitation gross sales party. The boxes were sitting on upper of a stack of Whitman coin folders.
I began to look up the value of the coins, discovered the universe of coin collecting, became alcoholic to Mercury dimes, and here I am...
Sounds like Cousin-german Eddie from the sub-par instalmen "Vegas Vacation" in the National Lampoons serial.
This isn't where coins were stored but if you film the outer case murder of and old washer or drier I undertake you'll discovery several coins.
Closets floors back nooks of addicts low-level insulation. Silver mint rolls in doorway frames walls hard cash behind painting under drawers in desks
Heel goes on founds lots of stuff when I wont to work for a renovation keep company
Wow. This really makes me want to change jobs...!
Anyone need any old houses torn down? ;-)
