[QUOTE="myownprivy, post: 3440251, member: 84588"][url]https://www.thestreet.com/markets/commodities/investing-in-silver-14767113[/url] Investors who believe in the "real money" theory of silver should try paying their bills in specie and see exactly how far that will get them. Fiat currency has structural value because of its ties to a national economy and its role in tax collection. Silver does not.
