[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1909441, member: 42"] I definately see/agree with the industrial/scientific value of gold and silver. I just don't buy into the "inherent value" of something based on speculation and supposition. Hell, just look at diamonds and their phony "inherent value". Purely manipulated by DeBeers and the cartel...I have seen the evidence of sea shell trading and other items in human history but it seems that those all had some value in the context of an established economic system. In the absence of such a system, or in the interim in between the collapse of one system and the establisment of another I just can't see that somehow pre-64 dimes are going to be barterable. There are folks out there buying up truck loads of 'em just because Rawles said so. That just seems off to me. Like you said, I could however imagine taking bullion and other hard forms of precious metals in trade for my excess in the hopes of having something of value [I]when[/I] the economy recovers or is restablished. But only if I am fed, clothed and secure first. Maybe I'm just short sighted...or dense. LOL. [/QUOTE]
