I remember the Gringo De Mexico bill we all routinely put up here during that traitor W’s reign.

When you run for office frequently in Texas, this is the kind of crap one toys with.

Absolutely not!

After the coming ‘currency reset’ watch what happens!

Oh, okay, thanks! But I never thought of them as being collectible myself. I only thought of them as being really valuable in a "SHTF" situation. But recently I was disabused of that notion when I read a Selco article about his experience surviving the Bosnia-Herzegovina war.

He pointed out that the last thing you'd want to do was flash around a lot of big beautiful "uncirculated" coins; the robbers would hear about it and come and take them away from you and leave you dead as a doornail.

Keep some silver, yes, by all means. But only a few random small denominations at any one time in your pocket. They should be old, grungy, beat-up coins, not bright, shiny brand new ones. And never more than a few dollars worth at a time. Enough to buy a loaf of bread, a few aspirin, a piece of fruit, or a few bullets - if you could find any of those things.

So it seems these new Walking Liberties are pretty much useless in any real life situation.

I remember going to the bank and trading a $1 bill for a real silver dollar.

In Canada, they produce a very pure (.9999 24 carat, in some cases .99999) Maple Leaf gold coin. The gold is pure enough to have a laser hologram image on it.

I would like to see the US produce close to pure gold and silver coins as well. And because such coins would be very soft, they would be kept in a transparent container.

But here is the real zinger: put a value on the coin in excess of the value of the metal. Typically the metal is worth far more than the face value, so this would change that.

For example, the current price of an ounce of gold is about $1,340/oz. So mint a Ronald Reagan 1 ounce coin with a face value of $5,000. And have a very detailed and patriotic reverse side laser engraving on the coin.

Dear God No!

Very true, thank you. But we were talking about silver.

‘Lawmakers want to honor the memory of President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara by putting their faces on a coin.”

Bull spit! There is already a aircraft carrier named after the globalist, enough already. Not a fan of Jesse Jackson but he was right on when he said “out da Bush’s”.

Being it was 50+ years ago, I cannot recall. Part of me says no. But I remember walking out of the 1st national bank with my prize!

Good frickin’ grief! Misters Cruz and Cornyn: DO YOUR JOBS and quit playing around. Don’t you have better things to do with your time? [pffft!]

The last Silver Certificates were issued in 1964. That was the same year they stopped making silver coins.

As long as the coin loses 50% of its value every year, I have no problem with it.

The coin should also include a ceremony every year in an abandoned air base, rewarding ATF Gestapo killers for murdering little boys and killing mothers holding babies.

Let’s name it the George Bush Gestapo coin.

We could also honor George Bush tearing up his NRA card.
