Great idea... until the government passes a law making it illegal to own more than one ounce of gold, under penalty of imprisonment, fine and confiscation without compensation. Then, all the gold one owns goes into the ground or under the bed.. unless you would care to trade it in for the new currency, at 10 cents to the dollar.
Buy lead, boys!
It might come to that this time round. The elites are going for broke this time to own the world.
How would Uncle Sugar determine the amount of hard assets one possesses?
I have enough lead. I reload. What is short is primer's. None in the supply system for a year. We need primer manufacturer in Texas.
The only metals more valuable than Gold and Silver is Lead and Brass.
Even when the government banned bullion in the 1930s, there was an exception for jewelry. Coin holders on the chain are easy. But so you want to go completely dark and don’t want the government to get your gold at ten cents on the dollar.
$10,000 is smaller than the pocket change you normally carry. You don’t have a Vietnamese restaurant, an Indian restaurant, or a Chinese laundry in your town? I assure you they will happily buy your goal in such a situation. They smuggle in human beings by the conex box, a few found is easy peasy. The US government can ban gold here in America, the rest of the world will be all that more than hungry for it.
