Trust me, you won't ever lose a $1100 coin. When coins are actually worth something your whole attitude towards them changes. You should really hold a one ounce gold coin once and let your mind wander on it. Does something with you. At once the whole fiat currency system becomes clear as the scam it is.

Yea wed all have like expensive coin bags/pouches instead of wallets. Wed make sure it wouldnt be easy to lose lol

you'll have a choice to make, will it be a cold meal or a cold butthole

Come to think...
It would be nice if we could use a simple card to swipe to apply for jobs/careers. Good for job/career hunting it would be.

gold is only good when the economy is suffering, if the economy tanks it's fucking worthless. gold is a fiat currency, it's like any other currency and only has the value that people place on it. rocks and shells were currency in some places, why is gold any different? oh, because man as placed value on the rock for much longer but if no other currency is in circulation then guess what, my asking price for the goods you want is high

If gold actually were utilized in a gold standard it would be much more stable in price. The British Sovereign was stable for virtually two hundred years while the British Empire expanded.
I didnt lose that by the way, I got out of gold in time, almost on the peak. I keep a tiny bit of gold around for sentimental value but the investment, thats gone. Silver hit a low and I got junk silver (no VAT tax) real cheap. Yes Silver came down too but never to the level for which I bought it.
Silvers gonna explode. EXPLODE.
If you don't already just consider it a lottery ticket and get a one ounce coin. The faith is more important than the weight.
*Forrest Gump voice* "Silver's gonna pull a Rhodium, and that's all I got to say about that."
Which is great for the US and its many silver mines.

Of all the metals, silver is the best conductor of heat and electricity known, in fact it has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity known for any material. It is strong, malleable and ductile, and can endure extreme temperature ranges. Silver is also able to reflect light very well.

was that the 16th century sovereign?
we were removed from a metals standard because of the instability, all it takes is for someone to hoard gold or silver

and yet you're still telling everyone to buy gold even while the prices were falling, this just over the last few years

No, definitely not, I don't want to carry around a bunch of change.
We should switch to more secure and overall better plastic bills, they'd last way longer, wouldn't tear or fade, thefore they wouldn't have to be recycled nearly as often, and there are more options to make them harder to counterfeit.

They are pushing to eliminate cash from society. Bitcoins are here to stay, get some before the price explodes again.
What fool said gold was fiat? Lol, its a commodity for sure and limited supply unlike fiat which can be printed or created by the trainload in an instant. The more economic problems the world has, the higher the price of gold, silver, bitcoins, etc.
-------------------- “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835) Trade list http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18047755

Nah. coins are easy to lose and take up more space, and weigh more. i wouldn't mind if the US changed our currect coins to reflect their actual value though. never made sense to me why pennies and nickles are bigger than dimes. and they are more expensive to produce than they are worth. its only about 6 cents to make a dime, but its almost 12 cents to make a nickel
switching over to polymer notes would be cool too. theyre neat
