"Here’s a thought - let’s coin money with precious metals and make our money worth something!"

The government has already mined all the precious metals out of our coins. What else can they take out next.

My suggestion is that if they want to further debase our coinage, they make them out of lead. That way we can express our disgust with government by returning the coins back to them at high velocity.
