Last time I looked, silver was trading for about $13/ozt. If you wanna save money, silver bullion isn't a bad way to go. The price keeps up with inflation, and it's fairly easy to buy and store in small qtys. Plus can re-sell it easy when you need the money back... If you watch the market, and sit on it for a little bit, you WILL get more than what you paid for it.
