<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1393611, member: 26302&quot;]I need to open up my history books then. I was unaware that the US did not strike gold coinage from 1800 to 1849 and that Bechtler gold was the only source of gold for the US. Also, I was unaware that only gold can equal profit to fund westward expansion, silly me I thought the tobacco, cotton, and NE merchandise this country was producing and exporting around the world was giving us a profit. Gold coins would simply be a representation of that profit, not the profit in and of itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw I know about SE US gold, and my grandfather lived in Dahlonega for a time being. Its very true though that its a tale not known enough in the US.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
