<p>[QUOTE="cmbdii, post: 4171, member: 655"]Yep, I agree that better compositions exist and that one could have been used. The "Nordic Gold" alloy developed by the Swedish monetary authority would have been a much better choice. It doesn't turn the color of a counterfeit penny the way the "sack of whatever" coin does. The fiat money US coinage produced since 1964 is all garbage, IMO. I don't buy any of it or sell any of it it and would much prefer not having to use it at all no matter what "innovative designs" the dept. of treasury dreams up.</p><p><br /></p><p> BTW, how many collectors and investors realize that the US Eagle bullion coins are being struck of precious metals bought on the open world market? Those are yearly issues of US coins worth buying and keeping unlike the sets of pot metal coins being offered by the Mint every year. While I can still trade worthless fiat money for precious metal coins, I intend to keep doing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
