Not a lot of Americans own gold. Too many of us would rather spend than save. The currency is no longer backed by gold. A gov’t search from house to house or in safe deposit boxes would yield a lot of jewelry but not much bullion. The bullion is in banks and is owned by the big boys like Goldman Sachs. Confiscation of wealth via inflation is more likely.

<> Really? Inflation hasn't yet hit, but wealth confiscation is happening right now! I agree though, that coins will be of more value to us vs. bars.... but for me, more practical investments (other than guns/ammo) will benefit even more for one's own family. I personally believe we have a less than 2-year window to prepare... regardless of 2010 elections, its gonna happen either way... just my $.02
