SWMBO has just purchased one of these 20p coins, for an exhorbitant amount, convinced that it's going to be worth a fortune in 10 years time.

I've bet her that I can make more money in 10 years by sticking the same amount of cash somewhere else. It's a small sum - £104* - so I need to find somewhere I can put that amount of money and leave it for 10 years to exceed her projected profits on the 20p coin. I doubt the coin will be worth more than £300 tops in that space - but I could be wrong.

So, where can I stick my very small investment and sit back and watch it for 10 years? Am prepared for high risk; if it goes, it goes!

And no, I won't put it in your piggy bank/your beer fund/your car repair fund, etc etc. FSA regulated only!!



* which is NOT a small sum for a 20p coin!

RBS or Lloyds shares I would imagine will be worth about three times what they are now in 10 years time.

At least I'd say.
