Over the years the US has printed Silver Dollar notes, they are called silver certificates and they are redeemable for one dollar in silver, payable to the bearer on demand. I have a few, seven. Now they have been left from family who have passed away so they are mostly a memento. They were saved by these folks because it said silver and they attached a value to them and that value was false. Ive never heard of anyone trading in one of those certificates. Im pretty sure if I went to the federal reserve bank and asked to trade them for a coin silver dollar .... they would refuse. But that paper is a contract!!!! So they are legally bound? Any lawyers out there? Mundo, Ross, Perry.
According to the US Treasury (202-622-2000), Greg says the US went off the gold standard 40 years ago and my notes are worthless. Greg did say I should speak to a coin collector. I did call the Bureau of Engraving (877-874-4114) and spoke with Travis, nice young man. He says I can take my silver bills to a bank and trade them in for ordinary dollars. I did call the mint and spoke with Latasha (800-872-6468) and she referred me to Greg. When I asked Greg to let me speak to his supervisor, he said there is no one in that building that can help me. "The Buck stops here"
Now the Government does make silver coins, some have a face value, and other dont. But those coins are out of my price range. They also make gold coins and platinum coins, those are also out of my price range.
They dont make copper coins, Copper is at $3.60 a pound. They make Zinc coins and paint them with Copper. They are called pennies and they cost a nickle to make them.
They cost the taxpayer another nickle to use them.
So why did they make silver certificates? Because it provides people, like my ancestors, with a false sense of wealth. They hoard them, they keep them, they hide them thinking that some day if they need that silver dollar, they can always trade. And I have a bridge to sell you. It is a scam perpetrated by the US Government, our Congress and Senate, our public officials ..... because they know people are not going to come around to spent it.
Our government and economist and business people, change the gold and silver standard, so the economy would grow. Why? Because if people have money, they can steal it, you cant steal from a poor man ..... or can you.
Silver has a medicinal value that xceeds its coin value, its market value. The market value today is about $29.00 dollars an ounce, its medical value is twice as much although I have never tried to calculate it.
In either case it is a scam thats why in many countries they will not take paper money, they will take gold and silver. Now gold has been the most xpensive metal to date but it has no medical value .... that I know of.
The candidates are always worried about our future, about our future children, thats because they dont xist.
You would think that a country that doesnt want to give healthcare, even though Americans have paid for it many times over, would give you your silver. If an American has a savings bond .... they will pay you interest. If you put your money in the bank they will pay you interest or steal it. If they give you silver, they rich people will be poor over night. The poor people will become richer. You see a poor man can carry his silver with him, but a rich man cant.
An xample, if you want to buy a house you need to give a down payment of 20%, why they have the paper, they own the house. But the house if worth 60% less than the sale price and they know it, and 30 years is a long time and who knows what will happen. The local people will tax it, and keep doing so until the house becomes worthless ..... just like the silver certificate.
The candidates are always talking about how they can turn things around, find us all jobs, give us good healthcare, free education because they are brilliant economist.
I would like to get everyone a Silver gram, this is a little card with one gram of silver which is what a dollar will buy. One ounce of silver is 15 grams and it cost about $29.00 dollars.
You would think I would be able to get something for my wooden nickle, you would think a promise made by the US Govt would mean something. You would think I could get a Silver Gram.
Imagine If I had a deck of cards, and we used silver grams for chips, and you got two pair. You would have about $10 dollars ..... a few more hands like this and you could buy a nice present for the one you love.
Therefore I am proposing that effective immediately, 20% of all wages paid be done so in Silver. So if you get $100 dollars a week, you would get $80 dollars plus 20 grams of silver. It would be better and less costly if they made the silver grams in 15 grams, or 1 ounce. Immediately you would see your pile of silver increase in value.
