Fiat's real whether you like it or not. If I were retired and the value of my life savings went down significantly, I don't think I could shrug it off and say "still have the same amount of ounces, it's all good".
sure fiats "real", and I am retired....and a lot of my 'savings' are in silver, but they're also in land, and they are in nickels....the buddy, I love nickels. I noticed you "sorted" thru 40,000...I assume you were looking for war nickels?....that's good..probably found a few, right....but PLEASE tell me, you stacked those 20 bricks ($100 FV box, 2,000 nickels in each) and SAVED them...please tell me that...lol....THATS the way to save money, imo....each roll, I think of it, as a Hard $2 metal "bill".i RARELY keep any paper folding money, just an odd 20 or two, for when I go visit my old gal to get a haircut....I got a "deal" going with my bro's at the credit union, every two weeks, they order me a brick of nicks ....two a month, $200, in addition to the stack....when I get first whiff,they're gonna debase?...then i'm doing a 100 mile radius sweep and get 10 to 30 more bricks...mark my words, the nickel is going to be a very important coin, a really good store of wealth....AS WELL as silver....and in that, you'll see the Kennedy 40%'er get real popular...almost a fifth a toz of silver...backed by the 1964 90% Kennedy halve, which is a couple ticks over a third an ounce of silver...this will be the money you trade with.
sure I like the 95% coppers, fine coin, but the brick of nick's, is purty much hassle free...know what I mean?......and I posted on the nickel board, I actually scored me a WHOLE brick of 2009's!! lol...fresh from the mint...sure I could make me some extra money, but I don't wanna be wrapping and sending and receiving, and bing bang boom....not worth it to me.
you know what the best purchase I made in the last two months has been? for $19.99, I bought me, an honest to goodness Black and Decker WAFFLE maker!!!.....they sell those ten pound bags of Krusteaz all in one pancake flour, for $7!, stash 'em in real containers, I live in syrup country, I live in 1.99 pound butter country, cheap bacon country....that machine is a miracle!!!!
well, what t if the power goes out?...........loll.......my 8kw auto LP genny kicks in...waffles for all my friends!!!!!!
