<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed23, post: 2150774, member: 32117&quot;]We could if we did it right. First step would be to designate silver coins the size of quarters as worth $100, silver coins the size of half dollars worth $500 and silver coins the size of silver dollars worth $1,000. The government can designate any size coin of any material worth however much they want it to be worth; how else could one explain how they designate an 1 oz. Silver Eagle worth a dollar, or 10 cents worth of copper in an Ike Dollar worth a dollar? Likewise we could make a half ounce gold coin designated worth a million dollars and a two ounce gold coin designated worth a billion dollars. There is no law or reason anywhere that mandates the coins have to have a melt value equal to its value.</p><p><br /></p><p>You go to a bank today you can&#039;t take out even worthless $100 paper cash from your own account, as most banks force you to take checks for larger amounts. Do you think a foreign government would take a check? Probably not. But given the option of a check, a wire transfer in their currency, a hundred canvas bags of quarter sized coins, trunks or suitcases full of $100 bills, or a 10 ounce Platinum coin designated $1 Trillion Dollars, no other precious metal option, I believe they&#039;d take the wire transfer, and there we have taken the option of being paid in precious metals off the table.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just think outside the box and there are many ideas one could come up with. In fact someone suggested designating sand as worth a dollar and paying the Federal Reserve off with it, then re-designate sand worthless and go on with a clean slate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
