<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmbdii, post: 4231, member: 655&quot;]The speculators you&#039;re talking about didn&#039;t go broke buying gold coins.&nbsp; They went broke trying to ride the commodities market.&nbsp; Those who simply bought gold stopped buying for awhile when the prices went into the stratosphere.&nbsp; Speculators were &quot;buying on margin&quot;, which is a fancy way of saying they were betting money they never had.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Paper money will probably always be around.&nbsp; The paper money we have in our pockets could be off the scene next week for all we know.&nbsp; It&#039;s fiat money, paper backed by nothing at all.&nbsp; Fiat money always collapses.&nbsp; Ours has lasted longer than some other types, but it&#039;s about to fall.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; If it&#039;s replaced by actual gold or silver certificates which circulate as bearer instruments along with gold and silver coins, we might just have a stable currency for a change.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Collectors of bullion coins are a very small part of the bullion coin market, I suppose.&nbsp; I don&#039;t collect bullion coins.&nbsp; I buy them to keep and resell some as jewelry framed in bezels. As you may have guessed, I &#039;m not a collector at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
