[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3939021, member: 77814"]I haven't been to a car dealership that accepted PMs for purchases. PMs have to be first converted to cash/money to be used to buy other things. There may be a premium gained/lost from that transaction. If you use PM based coins at a grocery store, they'll be used at face value. So that silver half dollar is worth 50 cents. If you sell the silver half dollar to someone that wants it for it's silver content, then you can get more cash out of it to be used to buy something. Isn't that why ppl CRH for Silver Halves ? They are in Half Dollar/50 cent rolls as the banks consider them 50 cents each. When found, they are sold at their silver value instead their face value. Because PMs have to be converted to spend them at full metal value and not face value if in mint coin form, PMs are normally considered a "storage of wealth". But everyone will have their own definitions of PMs, so YMMV.[/QUOTE]
