Buried Treasure

Swiss bank accounts? Out! Swiss underground vaults? In!

From Bloomberg:

"Deep in the Swiss Alps, next to an old airstrip suitable for landing Gulfstream and Falcon jets, is a vast bunker that holds what may be one of the world’s largest stashes of gold. The entrance, protected by a guard in a bulletproof vest, is a small metal door set into a granite mountain face at the end of a narrow country lane. Behind two farther doors sits a 3.5-ton metal portal that opens only after a code is entered and an iris scan and a facial-recognition screen are performed. A maze of tunnels once used by Swiss armed forces lies within."

I keep one billion nanopennies
in an Alpine vault,
so that I will still have plenty
should my bank default.
