Gold and silver have traditionally been used as stores of value, but the problem with them is that they are so expensive they would just locked in a vault. Also, you could be convicted of terrorism if you use them as money.
What about copper? It is very attractive cheap and useful, and I doubt that the Secret Service has any interest in copper bullion.
As of today, you can buy a 1 kilo copper bar for $19.00 at Liberty Bell Bullion (spot price about $9.40 based on $4.30/lb). Here is one for $22.60 from Deadwood Gold. Ebay also sells copper bullion.
Anyways it is interesting to think about buying copper as a tangible physical investment.
