American Eagles & other gold coins

At Monex Deposit Company’s website, you can buy gold coins or bars and other precious metals. Immediate delivery can be arranged, or you can have your purchase stored in an independent bank or depository. Gold has a well-documented history of being one of the better ways to preserve your wealth… plus, it’s shiny–and who doesn’t like shiny things? Gold has the power to change lives–for good or ill.
Vienna philharmonics, Canadian maple leafs, U.S. American buffalos, U.S. American eagles, and South African krugerrands (each a type of coin made from fine gold; click the link above for visuals) are available for purchase from Monex. The coins are legal tender (each American coin has a face value of $50) and many are accepted around the world, which means no more need for money changing!

- Pedro and I are still alive! (Learn more about ZvH.)

- Talked with Bennett on the phone for three hours. Longest phone conversation we’ve ever had–and 2/3 of it was actually worthwhile.
- Friday the 13th… all I need now is for a black cat to cross my path while I’m walking under a ladder. LOL.
- OMG. Jon Stewart is a GENIUS.
Amedeus to be shutdown soon

My livejournal, Lady Amedeus, is in the process of transfering to this blog. I’m not going to actually move any previous entries to this page, but I will be slowly weaning myself from livejournal to Duncan Heights… since I AM paying for the site and server… I might as well use it, right? Categories will be included; if you want to link me, I’ll link you back on my blogroll. This site also has the added feature of your being able to subscribe to my posts (if you’re so inclined), so think about that if you never actually want to visit this page… you can have my posts show up in your email! Anyway, start transfering your bookmarks to Duncan Heights to continue reading about my amazing world. You know you want to.
