[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2112970, member: 71723"]Please remind yourself why this quasi-religious quasi-political question is relevant to a coin discussion. The ongoing health of the classic collector coin and physical bullion markets is dependent on getting the next generation to "buy into" the same precepts our generation has. What I'm pointing out is that their early track record on the score is not impressive. To be charitable, I can allow that among 1) the old fashioned ideas about marriage, and 2) the old fashioned ideas about money, anyone may find one of them fully legitimate and based on eternal truth, and the other one arbitrary, capricious, and without a logical base, despite its history. It probably won't surprise you that I find the 5000 year old views on money to be the bogus one, and the 5000 year old western ideas on marriage to be based on eternal truth. (By the way, I'm NOT a multiculturalist, and refuse to pretend to be one.) But in either case, if you think you can indoctrinate the digital generation, you have a higher opinion of my generation's persuasive power over these digital rugrats than I do.
