<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 3270220, member: 77704"]When governments get involved bad things happen. Look at the case in 1934/ USA. The new President FDR passed a law that allowed the confiscation of gold coins/ bars/ certificates. Also he ordered the US mint to stop minting real $= out of gold/ replacing it with paper money. All of the 1933 gold coinage was melted down. Anyone with a brain / and a heart would have kept a thousand MS examples from @ year aside for future collectors, secondly encourage citizens to have gold bullion, coins since its the only real money. Now we live in an era where people speculate in worthless "bitcoin" go into debt because of plastic (credit cards) and have high inflation since the paper currency is not backed by gold. So how can you trust them to preserve rare coins, artifacts<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
