Last weekend I dined out with friends....the bill came, showed the total, below showed the discounted
———
Two gas stations within an hour drive have signs posted ” we accept 20 cents for one gallon of gas * pre-64 dimes”.
A silver dime is today worth 2.85 paper dollars….shows just how far our dollars have been debased…massive loss of purchasing power.

“ the melt value of a U.S. $20 gold piece as bullion is approximately $3,255.04, assuming no additional numismatic or collectible value” - Grok
The gold coin used to be directly tradable to paper cash back and forth. Now it’s worth $3,255.
If you once traded the coin for the paper and held it, where did the other $3,235 go?
“Two gas stations within an hour drive have signs posted ” we accept 20 cents for one gallon of gas * pre-64 dimes”.”
I call your BS.
