I am trying to visualize this. :)
You take the 100 bills out of the wrapper. I guess cutting carefully one side
of the length long wrapper and lift up the cut rectengal flap and wiggle the
100 $50 bills out very carefully, as not to break the wrapper.
So after counting them, don't you just have to pack them tightly again and
wiggle them back in, and not fold the bills in half first, whether lengthwise or
widthwise, before wiggling them back into the wrapper?
I know the visual is not as important as slowly getting all the money out of the
bank and putting it somewhere safe, out of harms way from a bank holiday
or worse bank failure, of your money.
I'm more concerned in having a form of currency (gold, silver, cryptocurrency,
mining stocks etc) held in a safe place outside a bank. That will go up greatly
as the paper/digital currency is devalued greatly and uses up the paper/digital
currency much quicker than one attended for it, whether keep it in a bank or a
protected place outside a bank.
As an aside, maybe every 3 months earth time, in the afterlife there are heavenly
oscar like awards for our roles we played in this reality, good, bad and in between.
That really have nothing to do with free will, though seem like it, but assignment
karma roles. So no one has to feel guilty about how they were like in this reality.
Sill it is hard to know what we do for all eternity from either the 2 main religions of
(1) many lesser shamans, religion, up to 2 or so percent of the population, or
(2) the other religion of one great shaman figure only of the great state religions,
maybe a dozen of them left now. Both of which aren't very clear on the matter
except for sweeping generalizations.
Do we live in (a) an existence finally that, has meanings, activities and setup
(whatever they are) that satisfies always?
or
(b) back and forth between restpits in heaven, and new karma roles in this reality,
for all eternity - the neverending story as it were?
I prefer (a). :)
Note that gold's price based on the new runaway debt of the depression we are
in, is negative again, after starting off positive after the market close yesterday.
Yet based on the same runaway debt making of the depression we are in, the
regular stock markets are up to pre-depression levels.
Very strange how runaway debt in a depression benefits gold very restrictively
and benefits the stock markets very freely and excessively.
It should be the other way around if we didn't have a communist gov't in place
(whether democrat or repubican) instead of a republic/democratic gov't in
place, rising gold greatly and stock markets down greatly.
When I took the bills out of the wrapper, I pulled some out from the middle, the rest came out easy, the wrapper was not damaged.

It was putting the back in the wrapper that was surprising, amazing, and fun.
Think of a slice of American cheese with a two-inch wide wrapper around it.
If you were to roll the slice of cheese, keeping the wrapper straight, there would be an excess of room in the wrapper. When you straightened the cheese it would appear as it did at the start.

This is just too philosophical. It boggles my mind.
Likewise, when you attempt to fold the narrow part of 100 bills in half, it actually begins to resemble a cylinder. There is now excess room around the wrapper.

By the way, American cheese is not a cultural cheese but an engineered cheese.
The purpose of its creation was to melt just right on a hamburger.
Other cheeses don’t melt well, and other cheeses become too runny.
The engineers created a Goldilocks cheese that was just right.

Doug Casey has started discouraging people from stocking up on one-ounce bullion coins.
He says that we should be purchasing smaller gold coins. [½ oz, 1/4 oz, 1/10 oz.].
Even at today’s prices, a 1-ounce gold coin [$2,000] is a little awkward.
A smaller coin [$1000, $500, $200] is likely to be more useful.
Also, I think traveling with them may be problematic, drawing attention of customs officials.
Not to go into a discussion of right now.
But a smaller coin may pass by without attention.

Some possible Bullion coin safety strategies. I had imagined adding a concrete extension to my patio, using gold coins rather than gravel to make the concrete.

My friend said that a safe is useless because the bad guys can force you to open it.
I found it fascinating that the electric keypad simply comes off.
Without it, nobody, including yourself, can open the safe.
So you keep the keypad at a friend’s house.

Just as I was starting to start upstairs, before making the previous post, a thought hit me.
It only takes a battery, a couple of alligator clips, and a solution.
You could plate things, like gold bullion coins.
It would look like a silver coin instead of a gold coin.
I am sure that the process can easily be reversed.
A gold coin could look like a ubiquitous quarter or a dime.
Who would pay that much attention?
Would not a silver Maple Leaf look just like a silver-plated gold Maple Leaf?
You would have to read stuff with a magnifying glass to get suspicious.
Who is going to do that?

It has always struck me as ignorant that none of the mints have one ounce ‘bullion’ Crucifixes.
Not even President Roosevelt confiscated religious items.

Segueing into ‘religion’ [Theology]. The metaphysics of immortality are strange.
If you are truly immortal, then it implies you are immortal like God and have no end.
But this also has a very odd implication, if you are immortal like God, then you had no beginning.
You have been around for a very long time, but you have no current memory of it.
What kind of a game is that?

Also, we are ‘basically’ limited creatures of a three-dimensional domain.
As Lady Ga-Ga says: “
We were born this way.” To be something else is not to be us.
Our future is most likely to remain ‘basically’ limited creatures of a three-dimensional domain.
As Lady Ga-Ga says: “
We were born this way.” I.E., That is what we are, IMHO, LOL.
