<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1273314, member: 17919&quot;]Now let&#039;s look at that from the viewpoint of someone walking into a French coin shop wanting to buy, say, a 40-franc gold coin, which contains 0.3734 ounce of gold or roughly $600 worth at $1600/ounce. The dealer&#039;s asking price might&nbsp; be something like $620. The customer puts the equivalent amount of euros on the counter to pay for his coin. But the dealer says, &quot;Sorry, monsieur, but the law says I cannot accept cash. You must pay by another means, which will increase the cost to both of us. I hope you understand the intent of the law, which is ostensibly to prevent sales of stolen copper&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
