I picked this up from a local web board. Just bare in mind that Ireland has no history of being interested in gold as money or the usual goldbug politics etc. it was posted in a collectors and antiques section of the board, its only a sample of one but made me smile

"This forum is the best place I can think for this.

Let's say I wanted to get some gold or silver. Pretend I'm paranoid about the banks not functioning and I was something that'll be worth something no matter what. So I'm looking for gold or silver coins that are worth something because of their content, not rareity, such as Kruggerands. Is there anywhere in Dublin I can buy them?"
