I am contemplating burying the money in my backyard and then creating a secret treasure map that I will keep underneath my pillow. Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to create a pirate like treasure map? What about where to buy high quality booby traps to guard said money (under $400 would be best)? I looked through hot deals but did not see any booby trap deals.
So I went to Google to find out how to create a pirate like treasure map and there was like 7 search results in front of the best result. This must be a sign that Google is going under. So I went to the library and withdrew all the books. I want to bury them in my backyard but it's not big enough. Does anybody know where to buy more property (under $400 would be best)?

Oh yeah. How to make a pirate like treasure map

Hey, can you do me a favor and withdraw it all in half dollars. You'll have the added bonus that it won't rot, the metal may be worth more than face value when you do finally dig it up, and you'll be able to use a metal detector to locate it after you lose your treasure map (or the unlikely event that you don't know how to draw a map)

Is this a joke? The FDIC will guarantee any amount up to $100K, and the US government will NOT let the FDIC fail. (It's way too big and important to go under.) I keep about $5K in various bills in my house, but that's only because I'm paranoid (and it really helped out during 9/11 when ATMs were blinking in and out and it really felt like the world was ending).

You realize 10% of FDIC funds were used to pay Indymac depositors.

Citi is going to go bk, so is Wachovia. It's a pain in the ass to get your FDIC insured money out after the bank goes under.

Good thing there wasn't a long line for the bathroom!

Giving a whole new meaning to "bank run".

eBay here I come! With these "Treasure Maps" I can surely make a bundle! I will offer Custom map making for those who need to bury their money, but don't know how to make the maps. Then when I get their PayPal confirmed address, I can re-sell copies of the same maps to those who need money! I'm a gonna corner the market on treasure maps! Now don't you go stealing my idea!!!!

Discussion: Is there a burger bubble, and, if there is, when will it pop?

In Silicon Valley we are doing great. What bubble? There's a new McDonald's just went up.

Totally wrong.....I had this happen on $95,000 and they sent a check that I had in my possession within 5 days.....and it included the accrued interest. Why do you think it is a pain in the ass to get your money back? The FDIC uses banking records to pay immediately.....with no action on your part necessary.

How come no one else has thought of this?

"Euros", like in more than one? Wow, you must have A LOT of dollars (US or Zimbabwe) to exchange!
