It&#039;s not worth anything until you pass it over the counter to someone. You must despose of it to be worth anything and then when you take the loss of value (your moneys spending power) over time, your taxes, your selling fees, time and trouble you still end up with X amount of U.S. paper money to spend at the same store for the same goods, congratulations!!!</p><p>If any of you think the sky is really going to fall and we will be shaving off pieces of gold or silver to pay for goods then do I ever have very bad news for you, very bad indeed![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
