<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 8024320, member: 112"]Well if such a thing does happen, and it might someday I just doubt any of us will be alive when it does, the first thing they'll have to do is stop minting new coins and notes and order all the banks to turn in all of the money they get from the public. And - put an expiring time limit on how long coins and notes will remain legal tender. That alone could easily take a decade or longer - and probably longer ! And yeah, they've already done that kind of thing several times before. Once with all the gold coins and then again with all the silver coins. And they've done it numerous times with all the various and different types of notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if and when it does shortage will not be the operative word any longer because you can't have a shortage of something they're not making anymore and that is no longer legal tender.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
