An album full of bullion coins

I was really surprised when I opened the suitcase. I had been expecting to see neatly folded shirts and smart jackets, but what I saw was a weird collection of bits and pieces. There were old key rings, watches, plastic figures, spoons, forks and even a small dagger. Among those objects there were also three large books. They looked like diaries at first, but when I opened the first one, it turned out to be a stamp album. There were stamps from all over the world, South Africa, India, Canada, some of them old, some of them new, with or without seals. The collection was really impressive. I decided to look into the second album. To my surprise, it was a collection of gold bullion. They also came from different parts of the world. There were gold or silver coins and I thought they looked genuine. Of course, I could not possible be able to say that for sure. The third book was actually a diary. I hesitated for a while and then opened it. I saw a photograph of a young man in a polo shirt, sitting in a boat with a pretty girl. I barely knew him but I suddenly felt really sorry for him. He had died just a few days ago, and the suitcase was all he had left. I closed the diary and the album with bullion coins. Then I closed the suitcase, picked it up and left the room.
