<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Texas John, post: 1048953, member: 25813&quot;]I don&#039;t need to reread what you wrote to know you&#039;re wrong. The value of coins in circulation in 1964 was a tiny fraction of the money supply. There was never a possibility of exchanging all FRNs in circulation for silver coins; after 1933 FRNs were not guaranteed redeemable for silver coins anyway, but only for &quot;lawful money&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>You, like so many others, are confused about what money is for. It&#039;s a medium of exchange, a way for people to tell each other what things are worth. It is not supposed to be a store of value. If you want to buy something like gold and silver in the hopes you&#039;ll make a profit, feel free. If you stuff your mattress with dollar bills, don&#039;t be surprised if you discover later you made a bad decision. Dollars are for spending.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
