Message:: [QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 763350, member: 57463"]Does it have the same legend in Arabic and Chinese?  Many different types were minted during the run-up in inflation and precious metals prices in the 1970s.  These "rounds" were made by a wide array of private mints and private companies.  In a class, they are the same as the "art bars" of the 1970s, celebrating pioneer values, automobiles, Marilyn Monroe, and everything else under the sun. Last in line were the people from NORFED, the National Organization to Repeal the Federal Reserve, the group that Borgovan is thinking of perhaps, shut down by a government raid about 15 months ago, but their rounds were called "Liberty Dollars" (the source of their woes: way too much like USA money) and did not have the balance scale with pans.  The rounds played on the theory that the dollar was going down the tubes with gasoline running up from 18.9 to 89 cents a gallon and other indicators pointing to the demise of federal currency, if not the civilized world...  As you can see, both are still here. An ounce of silver is always worth something, and over time, more and more dollars for the same ounce.  I remember back when...[/QUOTE]
