FRN's as TP

If/when our money will someday be worth only the paper it's printed on, and we stack silver and gold now, if gold gets up to $2K+/oz and silver $100+/oz what will it matter if fiat is worthless? Rather than give someone an oz of gold for $2K of toilet paper- I'll obviously keep the gold. Use the metals themselves to buy goods. The world will be a crazy place- everybody for themselves. Chaos. It would seem that if one would have gold and silver, smaller increments would seem to make the most sense/be the most practical to use to buy goods, especially gold ie 1/10 oz coins. The future scenario doesn't look pretty.

As it stands, paper bills are already toilet paper; 94% of bills contain fecal matter pathogens upon them and can carry more germs that the average household toilet. So, in conclusion, your money is already pretty much toilet paper, physically and figuratively.

Now you see why I focus on manufacturing "micro" bullion and getting it into people's hands. I see no other outcome to the present day "Mechanics of Modern Money"(read the Federal Reserve authored book: http://archive.org/details/ModernMoneyMechanics).

Already the people that need the protection of PM's the most Those of lower economic standing) have been priced out just running out and picking up an ounce of gold. I see silver being that way before long.

Thank you for that trivia that's just the kind of encouragement I need to buy some more silver.

One can never have enough toilet paper. Actually could prove to be more valuable than pm's.
A little diversification doesn't hurt.

Maybe not, but having a load of staphylococcus and foreign fecal matter pressed up the arse might in the long run.

I have serious doubts about the sanitary disposition of most bills.

It was well warranted. It is pleasing to know that my displeasing lore has compelled you to do this.

When the time comes, I'll trade the TP I get free from work for Ag. Not stolen, just smaller industrial rolls, after they are changed.
I'd be lucky to get much though... This stuff is 1/2 ply. :lol:
