Thanks to alert reader David, we were tipped off to a Japanese company that offers a unique way to
store your gold - if you're a person who prefers to own solid gold than invest in it. They sell solid gold barbells, bars and, in a rather odd choice, shoe insoles. I have no idea why you would want to have gold shoe insoles. Let's face it: they wouldn't be comfortable and they're not going to fool any would-be thieves into mistaking them for DrScholl's. They weigh 1kg and cost ¥2,530,000 (or approx. $22,128). Prices vary depending on the amount of gold that goes into any of the other items.
