Here's what i want to do.

I'd like to leave something to my great great great great great grand kids. IN a time capsel and I want it to have some value for them - something that will help them in their lives financally in the future.

So i've been thinking about what to leave them that will have value 200 years from now.

here's how my thought process is going.

real estate - nope - property taxes and such - too public and easy to loose. neighborhoods change - society changes. war can wipe out all property ownership...

gold. good idea but technology exists now to change one form of matter to another - cost is ENORMOUS but it ALREADY exists so that cost will just go down in the future over 200 years so gold isn't a good bet. neither is diamonds - they can be made - or any other precious gems. I personally think by the end of our current lifetimes things like gold and diamonds will be worth much less then they are today.

cash/bank account, mutual funds, etc - once again - war, political change, etc can easily wipe this out. as can taxes

so i'm thinking that historical artifacts are probally the BEST way to go - and I'm thinking smaller the better with high value - things like good quality roman coins 2000 years old already.... that line of thinking. ORIGIONAL ones cannot be replaced and will always have value unless a time machine is made.

would like your input thoughts though on this...

what else could be done?

ideas please
