<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 608708, member: 5233&quot;]This is what I don&#039;t understand.&nbsp; I do understand this argument with the paper money...but not with the clad coins.&nbsp; Clad coins have an intrinsic metal value.&nbsp; You have to remember that when they minted coins out of silver and gold those metals had a much lower value.&nbsp; A $1 silver coin didn&#039;t contain $1 in silver.&nbsp; The face value of the coin was always over the value of the metal.&nbsp; In today&#039;s world, the market value of the clad metals is worth nearly as much as the coin&#039;s face.&nbsp; In the recent past, some clad coins have even had more metal value than fave value.&nbsp; I understand the argument about the paper being basically worthless...but the clad coins are not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
