The very first time I read the "bring the collectable coins
forward" theory was in (of all places) a Scrooge McDuck
comic.  They brought up the issue of "hey, this is brand
new", but it was considered a feature, not a bug.  (This
magazine had a wealth of good SF ideas in it.)

So let's cross the rubicon; where *would* you cache your
cash for a few hundred years?  It would help if your "time
belt" (ala "The Man Who Folded Himself") is also a teleport
device; any recently dug up cavern or tomb would do, as would
catacombs of old museums.  Anyone who suggests safe deposit
boxes doesn't remember what the average life expectancy was
for banks before FDIC.
