My daughter is having her first birthday soon, and we are putting together a time capsule for her to open when she turns 18. In addition to letters, photos, mementos and the like, I was wondering if fwallers had any more investment-related suggestions. Preferably it would involve something that could physically be put in a box...

Perhaps you should print out copies of FWF where guys constantly post disgusting anti-women comments like "pics?" and this will keep her away from boys for a little bit longer.

As a trained archivist (though not my current occupation)... If your capsule will be sealed and airtight, I suggest that you do not put anything that can off-gas into it. Styrofoam + newspaper can make it unreadable. There is little consensus on types of media as well. For example, DVD players may not be easy to find in 18 years. Paper and photos should store well. Use an acid buffered container or folder for paper and black and white photos for maximum life. You can google or eBay "Archival folders" for more info.

I was just unpacking some boxes and came across parts of my stamp collection. Apparently tucked away in the envelope were oil delivery receipts from my grandfather's house (with a 4c Lincoln stamp on them) dated 1965. $0.158/gallon. Fifteen point eight cents per gallon. His fill up was about $30.
My input would be a USB drive with whatever is interesting/relevant. Be sure to include a netbook so you can read the contents.
