I was at a market and everything made of metal was priced for tourists. so then i spot a small pile of coins. the country i am in doesn't have coins so i thought i better look through them. i bought one french republuc coin from 1929. It just had the silver look to so i asked how much.. the answer was about $3.50 andi@m sure i could have talked them lower. after i left i did the flick test and it sounded right then looked it up on the internet to find i got 27 grams of .90 silver for 3.50. Now I'm going back for more... after a foot massage.
"The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent." John Kenneth Galbraith 1975
