Peregrine Financial Group, Cedar-IA based firm is in hot water this week after the FBI seized some very interesting valuables from the firms' vault at their headquarters... What was so valuable you ask ?? The answer may surprise you... Silver Spongebob Square Pants coins minted by a private New Zealand company.
