A move towards a cashless society would be a logical step.

Wow! This sure sounds bad. Do you think that the government really will go that way ... that is, pass a law(s) making it illegal to hold PMs? That's scary, but I guess I could believe it with the present administration and current financial circumstances of the government.
Please, you or anyone else who has insight into this kind of thing, share anything else that leads you to this conclusion. (Believe me, this is not to contend or argue at all ... it is an honest question from a concerned 'old guy' with not much in PMs, but wanting to be able to use what I have, if necessary)
Thank you very much .... you or anyone else for your thoughts!!!

I make no bones about telling them this, too. "I always paid you cash for the goods, cash is all I will accept in return." The ones who really want the PMs find ways to make it work. Only one has balked. I don't do business with them anymore.

Keep in mind that holding significant amounts of PMs as a form of savings is an act of distrust (perhaps even hostility) toward our current financial system. Also remember that holding PMs signifies a willingness to conduct commerce in PMs. If this practice becomes too widespread it can pose a threat to the current system. Does anyone think that such a threat will go unchallenged? I think what we are seeing in Az is the beginnings of a low key approach to stigmatizing and intimidating those who hold (and could potentially transact business in) PMs.
If they simply wanted to deter thieves, copying the seller's driver's license would suffice. However the finger printing and the bank inquiry/interrogation is a not-so-subtle way of treating PM sellers as criminals because that is how they are likely viewed. If this practice becomes the norm, then the thieves will be the first to move to Craigs List and even E Bay giving the government an excuse to regulate online transactions.
