“Mr. Rogers, who started the Quantum Fund with George Soros in the 1970s, had said in a previous interview: ‘Coins and stamps are the only way I can invest in North Korea.’  By invest in, Mr. Rogers means he wants to wager against the long-term prospects for the isolated, economically struggling country. He views his purchase as a bet on the collapse of North Korea.  ‘At some point down the line, North Korea will cease existing as a country. Then the value of the coins will go up,’ Mr. Rogers said.  The Journal reports that a total of 13 one-ounce coins were purchased by an assistant of Mr. Rogers at a coin fair in Singapore.  The price was around $2,014 a piece.”
