The preference of wealthy refugees who needed easy to hide portable
wealth was rare postage stamps. I knew a guy who lost his home and
all his non-portable possessions in WWII but his bank accounts, art
and household silverware were converted to postage stamps just
before hostilities broke out. He pressed them between two sheets of
wax paper and hid them in between two layers of a leather coat. He
joined the Polish underground and lived in a forest for years, then
made his way through Soviet occupied Poland and East Germany to the
West and turned himself over to the Allies. He ended up in Canada
with just the shirt on his back... and the leather coat. Those
stamps got him a house and a restaurant.

He also rather cannily bought a house every time he had a kid, set
the mortgage up for 18 years, rented it out and then gifted it to
them when it was paid for, provided they enrolled in university. All
of them did.
