Gold & Silver Forum - Why gold is money.

This is a very simple way to see how the government robed you...

Take a hand full of change... quarters, dimes, half dollars, whatever...

They make look very similar... But the bottom coins, made up of 90% silver, dont lose value because the value of the coins is in the precious metal (silver) that it is made up of. The top coins are only credit or tokens, like arcade tokens... for the 90% silver money, and they dont hold any true value.

As it is right now,the coins in the bottom picture, 90% silver, are worth about 9X its face value in Federal reserve notes. If the dollar were to collapse today, the coins in the top picture would only be worth its metal content, and that is far less than its face value. And like I said, the bottom coins would be worth its value in metal, far above its face value.

The $20 coin is worth more than $600 in federal reserve notes... How is this possible it says $20? :confused_ma:

Your government robbed you and replaced your money with worthless tokens or bills that it can creat out of thin air.

If you own federal reserve notes then you are bound to its system,the federal reserve system can rob you by inflating the money supply and thus make the dollars you hold worth less and less over a period of time.

If the money is made out of gold/silver, and was 100% backed by gold/silver, then it would be impossible for the government to counterfeit money and thus rob you via the process of inflation (counterfeiting).

Gold is Money!
