Grow up and brush upon your own studies. . Yes it’s minted by the US mint but the stated face value has NEVER governed it’s worth, never except for dealing with the government. Do you have a pre-1965 dime? Will you sell it to me for $.11 and think you made a penny profit?
I have a 1909-S VDB penny. It's worth 1 cent and will get me a gumball from any old Ford gumball machine.
BTW I can sell it for hundreds of dollars but congress set it's value at 1 cent.
Got it yet?
The value of the currency is NOT the market value. In short it takes you 1,750 treasury notes to but $50.00 in real money.
Hey did you hear the fed’s printing tons of more paper notes? Next year you'll need 2,000 notes for a 1 oz gold coin.
The gold's not wort more... your paper is worthless!
