<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1272731, member: 22143&quot;]What history?&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve said nothing that can&#039;t be verified by a few searches.&nbsp; I never said that silver was not used to coin currency.&nbsp; However currency /= monetary asset.&nbsp; They also use linen to print dollar bills.&nbsp; This doesn&#039;t make linen a monetary asset.&nbsp; Central banks nor governments have stockpiles of either on their balance sheets.&nbsp; They do hold gold for this reason.&nbsp; &nbsp; I can&#039;t speak for your anecdotal observation of a few coin shops.&nbsp; Maybe they pulled the inventory until the prices go back up.&nbsp; I&#039;d recommend asking them if you really want to know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
