<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1474448, member: 66"]But sometimes to be FOR the people you have to do something the people don't want. I'm sure in 1964/65 the people would much rather have had the government just continue with the silver coins and not foist that junk clad stuff onto them. By by forcing on them something they didn't want, they prevented a much worse problem, namely NO COINS. With silver prices continuing to rise the coins in circulation would get pulled, any new ones made and put into circulation would have also disappeared, and within three years the entire Treasury stockpile of silver would have been depleted and there wouldn't have been anything to make the coins out of. I don't like the idea of a nanny state either but sometimes something does have to be done "For your own good".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
