I got some savings bonds from my great grandmother in the mid-70's. When they matured, my folks insisted I use the money to invest in something else of value. I chose Franklin Half Dollars and have a nice set of them in brilliant uncirculated. No idea what they're worth now, but I'm sure it's more than the $175 I started out with and they sure look awesome. When I traded baseball cards and coins with some friends, my mom got irate that I spent $5 on a Mickey Mantle '58 All Star card. I still have it and it's worth plenty now.
