<p>[QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 1569075, member: 34882"]I live in the State where this comes from NH. There is this movement in NH that calls themselves 'Freestaters'. I've seen Shire silver before, and it was created by one of these free-staters. But as someone above me mentioned it just fattens someone elses wallet, they even have a gold version too. Living here in NH I've never seen anyone in the state use it or anywhere that accepts it personally. Barring this festival thing held each year by the free state people <a href="http://freestateproject.org/content/porcfest" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://freestateproject.org/content/porcfest" rel="nofollow">http://freestateproject.org/content/porcfest</a> I think it gets used there as the festival includes alot of barter or using junk silver etc instead of FRN. Personally I'd rather just use junk silver myself, no need to worry about whether you have actual silver or the weight is correct. You would have to destroy the Shire card weigh the tiny silver amount and have it assayed or test it to be sure it's silver which defeats the purpose of easy medium of exchange imo unless you just trust whoever is making it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
