If they’re treasury certificates used as change to the American Gold Eagle bullion coins, maybe.
Ever notice how silver came out of the currency right about the same time the US ground forces started in the Vietnam war?
While true, the point is they started removing the money from our every day currency, while starting up a US ground war.
They needed an “event” to change their system.
Disagree. Look at what’s happening now. The central bankers want to implement a CBDC system. Is the US becoming more and more involved in foreign wars?
Not sure if you’re just arguing or truly don’t understand.
If they start the draft, and the reality of war hits home across the country, maybe then you’ll see the relationship of what they’re willing to do for money and power.
Personally witnessed people piggy banking the coins that still contained silver, and using the non and reduced silver coins. Piggy banks were very popular in the mid 1960s.
Already had most funds tied up in other investments. Not all of them as liquid as cash and precious metals.
