Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 414856, member: 6036"]Here's an amusing quote : "The value of the coins amounts to far more than their marked value. Even dimes before a certain date sell for ten and fifteen times the face value. " Whoa ! Imagine paying $1.50 for a 1796 dime ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I'm sure he was talking about pre-1964 bullion value, but I couldn't resist poking fun. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Yes, it's an interesting article, but not one to be taken seriously. Consider this quote : "And here we have the short history of how money came to be destroyed and how the modern world came to host the ghastly leviathans that dominate the world. Here is the basis of destructive and unnecessary wars that last and last, the character-shredding welfare state, and the swarms of bureaucrats who run our lives in every respect. It all comes down to the way money was destroyed." I suppose there are some who believe that; I am certainly not in that number. Some can be convinced the world is flat, or America never went to the moon. Whatevah.[/QUOTE]
