<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JoeSmith, post: 576580, member: 18021&quot;]I&#039;ve heard people say this.&nbsp; I don&#039;t agree.&nbsp; If you offer me dollars for something I own, I don&#039;t HAVE to sell it to you.&nbsp; Paper dollars are only useful if someone is willing to accept them as payment.&nbsp; They can be used to pay taxes, but thats the only thing they&#039;re gauranteed for.&nbsp; There are many examples I could cite.&nbsp; German paper money was used to burn for heat, because the heat they produced was more than the heat produced by firewood purchased with the paper money.&nbsp; On the other hand, German silver coins from the same time are STILL valuable, because they&#039;re silver.&nbsp; Silver doesn&#039;t have to be backed by anything, because silver IS something.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m afraid our fiat money will go the same route as German paper money, and many other paper currencies.&nbsp; I believe this will happen here in the USA, within the next 7 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I certainly hope I&#039;m wrong, but I&#039;m in the market for silver coins.&nbsp; (I already have some gold).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
