In their 1$ direct ship roll program, it is possible to purchase boxes (at $250.00 per box) of golden 1$ for the purpose of introducing the dollars into circulation (which I do, and then watch the merchant, or those in line behind me, set them aside immediately for their own collections). (Since I like to encourage the hobby, I find the golden dollars a joy to shop with - everyone loves them). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thinking of this more modern revelence, the program is specific about not putting the rolls in a Safety Deposit box right away (not sure how that time period is defined). So here is my contention, if the Treasury is going to start dictating where to place our purchases of something as readily available as clad dollars, then I would not be surprised to discover more demands outlined for other products in the future.</p><p>REf: <a href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;identifier=8100" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;identifier=8100" rel="nofollow">http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?langId=-1&amp;storeId=10001&amp;catalogId=10001&amp;identifier=8100</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regarding the word &quot;confiscation.&quot; The word in it&#039;s historical context is not accurate. Folks were intimated/mandated to sell their gold. The gold was not stolen in the traditional sense of the word. Do I think unimagined mandates are possible again for gold and other asset of value in our future? My answer is yes. Just my personal opinion. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Like you, I doubt a sweep being made to collect folks&#039; coin collections or bullion stash, but I do think it is possible that our means to purchasing and saling gold bullion could change dramatically during times of great crisis and transition. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />mad:I can imagine being told that it is for our own good and safety<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I posted the link to the article because I find GATA to be reputible source on the subject. The topic of not being able to get specific operational &quot;definitions&quot; defined by those in the position to do so is what caught my attention. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When a big machine is operating safely, it is often because someone chose to first write a manual on safe operating practices. Assuming the procedures in the manual are good and all the pages are there, the operator&#039;s risk to using the machine is greatly reduced. So that is my example......GATA&#039;s article reminded me that we are utilizing a machine without a full and functional manual.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><b><span style="color: purple">Just because a hole can be dug, does not mean it can be plugged..... </span></b></i></p><p><i><span style="color: purple"><b>Just because gold can be sold, does not mean it can be held...</b>(</span>and you can quote Sunflower for that little line of poetry). </i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>:smile My intention of responding to the first poster is to clarify why I felt the article was of interest. I do not wish to start a war on the topic. The argument of gold confisication <u>in its self</u> does not amuse me enough. Much has already been written on the topic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
