Actually it's not that much. I've been a designer of this equipment and gold is only used if there is absolutely no other way to meet the design...
I voted sneaky as you should never ever tell anyone what you are doing with bullion.
Good Move.
This isn't the point. The point is that I can post just as many weblinks that would say exactly the opposite. Such posts are dull, a waste of...
This is an opinion and not a rational explanation of why the Federal Reserve lists this gold as an asset. They are not ones to fool with the...
By your definition, the dollar is a commodity. You can get a Forex account and buy and sell it all day long if you like. The point being that...
You don't understand. By relaxed I mean the definition of the dollar started to include currency that wasn't based in metal. The US government...
There is nothing mysterious about this. From 1792 until some time after the Civil War, the US Dollar was defined as X amount of silver (too lazy...
Kitco itself is not unbiased and wikipedia isn't a definitive source. I did not read the links as I don't do battle of the weblinks on these...

Though I suppose it's getting rather thin now, the best chances for finding silver coinage in circulation (more or less) is to go to the bank and...
It's available for order again. (or was a little while ago) One of the better deals for US legal tender silver coinage at the moment, IMO....
Well..... The advantage of junk silver is that these 1099 rules won't apply as it is easy enough to sell less than $600 of it at a time. This...
Indeed and I was wondering if someone was going to notice this. This is because the gold held here isn't denominated in Federal Reserve (note)...
Indeed. This is exactly what I posted and which you originally disputed, in how they settle accounts with the other central banks. I never used...
It doesn't matter what you think as this is on their website. Furthermore, you cherry picked this line out of the post without the subsequent...
I don't like the design of the ASE to pay much in the way of a numismatic premium over the bullion price. An exception to this might be the...
No it doesn't imply this, but I will be patient and repeat what I posted above in more simple terms. Central banks do not use the fiat money...
