A couple years back I ran the numbers on mintage of gold and silver eagles and we were well past the point where the number available to circulate had become proportional to that which circulated prior to 1933.
I fully believe that one of Ron Paul’s purposes in that legislation was to provide the core of an exchange system for eventual use for the demise of the FED or its fiat currency.
Even more interesting is that around the approach or time of the 08 crash the obverse of the coins were changed so the u in United States became lowercase which is the oft mentioned difference between the United States as a corporation and the united States as a union of associated states in a Republic.

Axenolith, that is quite interesting about the small u. On which coins does this occur? I have not examined my coins closely, so have not been looking. Just now examined a 2017 penny and one from pre-2008. Not noticing a difference in the u. Only difference is replacement of Lincoln Memorial with the Shield.The Shield reminds me of some of the official stamps and symbols used during the WWI or II period. (without looking can’t remember which.)
Thanks!
