With the Silver Quarters, it takes 5 to make one ounce... I just look at it as a sign that the 1/5 ounce Silver Coins will have the $2 Face Values instead of a 1/4 ounce Silver Coin with a $2.5 Face Value... It made more sense to me to have the 1/5 ounce $2 Silver Coins...
The 1/4 ounce Gold Coins Could remain the same with a $25 Face Value or Switch to a 1/5 ounce $20 Gold Coin... Most people will never use their Gold Coins, because of the Huge amount of Spending Power... A $20 Gold Coin will have the Spending Power of 2,000 of today's Fiat USD's... Most people I talk to have a very hard time believing what I tell them... Not so much about the Silver and Gold Coins, but for the 100 Fold increase in the Spending Power of our Common U.S. Coinage... And I do understand why...
Think about how many years we've been minting our "Clad" Coinage by the untold Billions and Billions, and then we're told there's a National Coin Shortage... It that wasn't a clue, I don't know what else would quality... Thanks for letting me know... It can be very discouraging for me at times, when I don't get any feedback...
At first, I thought that was a way to encourage electronic payments in order to prepare people for a CBDC. Now, when I was trying to explain your prediction to those relatives, I made the same point about the coin shortage hoax.
When the Switch is Flipped, I sure hope there's a lot of Children out there with Full Piggy Banks...
