<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ROBERT THOMASON, post: 2741072, member: 84116&quot;]I had forgotten what the original purpose of this thread was, with all the off subject back and forth comments....</p><p>About the gold franc coins. They were in the &#039;survival kits&#039; carried by aviators (they also contained condoms, if I&#039;m not mistaken. Anybody here &#039;stacking&#039; those?).</p><p>Back to the gold francs. Have you ever mailed a parcel internationally? If so, then you have filled out a PS Form 2976-A (the Customs Form), and it specifies the &#039;insured amount&#039; and also the &#039;SDR value&#039; which is determined by referring to a chart converting the US dollar insured value to the SDR value which is in gold francs.</p><p>So, gold is still alive in international commerce.</p><p>It would seem to me that the subject of burying silver in a PVC tube is somewhat akin to those buried pots full of old Roman coins that are uncovered from time to time. I guess it&#039;s a natural human response to difficult times, dating back thousands of years. Squirrels bury acorns and walnuts, dogs bury bones, and people bury... anything of value, I guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
