Exactly. Who's going to make change on my 1/4 Oz Gold Canadian Maple Leaf Coin?
Ready cash
Let's say I want to have $10,000 in ready funds available not in a bank. What is the best/ safest form to have that money in? Is there anything better than just paper currency? Just thinking out loud here...

Yes, "pieces of eight".Actually, if you look back in time, coins were cut.
The Spanish dollar coin was worth eight reales and could be physically cut into eight pieces, or "bits," to make change -- hence the colloquial name "pieces of eight." The dollar coin could also be cut into quarters, and "two bits" became American slang for a quarter dollar, or 25 cents.
