I found it most interesting that the world leaders were given GOLD COINS at the summit this week. http://seekingalpha.com/article/1481...m?source=yahoo Also, the company that produced the GOLD COINS are developing a way for these GOLD COINS to send and receive info. This info could be used to stop counterfeiting and "TRACK" the money __________________ This is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life I've admired its color, its brilliance, its divine heaviness. I welcome any enterprise that will increase my stock... which is considerable.

Presidents don't keep the gifts received at these official functions. They are part of the "game" of international diplomacy and end up in a library or museum.   07-13-2009, 10:27 AM   #6 (permalink) justafarmer Senior Member   Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 352 At current prices - there isn't enough silver and gold available world wide to back a unified currency. I wonder how much the value of each must be to support such a scheme.

And dispose of them as they see fit if the Prez either can't cough up the "fair market value" or don't want it. http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archive...nce/gifts.html   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
