Kids Should Learn about Real Money (and Jade with Gold!)

Here is a post on teaching your kids about Precious Metals. Also see Jade with a cool 1/2 million in pure gold.

Good post. We took the kids on a tour of the Mint last week while in Ottawa. Jealous over the stacks of silver bars I saw on the production floor. Still have a ways to go.

Really cool link! I'm 30 yrs old but I am so happy my mother taught me at a young age to appreciate metals. I actually remember sorting pennies together about 25 years ago. Of course I grew in to a "know it all teenager" and then a broke college student and now I'm just plain broke :lol: But the fundamentals remain, pretty sure I wouldn't be sorting pennies today and stacking silver without her influence. Thanks for the reminder of where we all came from, if only I was a little wiser and would've been sorting/stacking the whole time!

I'm trying to teach my neice and nephews about sound money, so far I have 1 out of 3 interested. He likes the numismatic books, and also seems very curious in that he asks lots of questions.


He will be very happy he listened to me one day! :)

Jade is worth more, as you know. Keep spreading the word. The world will change one of these days, but not without prodding from us all.

I think the gold bar is about 400 oz. Its the kind most gold gets stored in by the RCM and other large gold holders use anyway.
