Anthony,
It's funny, but paper does not get more valuable with age, unless it is VERY
old: the Magna Carta; The US Declaration of Independence; prints of Albrecht
Durer etchings, etc. ;-)
The hundred-year-old $20 gold US coin I bought for $400 US about ten years ago
is now said to be worth over $1700. Funny, though, because paper is a LOT
easier and convenient to carry around, and heavy gold coins will just wear
holes in our pockets. But I guess we have to go with the Markets even when
they are obviously irrational. ;-)
I regret I did not buy TEN of those coins at the time. I could have gotten rid
of a lot of paper.
To keep this post on topic, I will mention Zen.
Maybe I'll expand on that in the next post.
