This should bring about some interesting finds if it is widely adopted....

Emergence from Illusion.

Sounds like businesses are smarter than our Gov't because they accept precious metals in exchange for their products being sold! I wouldn't do that with any precious metals that I have, whether or not gov't minted or private issue, because they would be most usually be worth more in exchange for real money and then spend the dollars! Bartering has been since days of long, long ago! Farmers used to trade chickens, eggs, vegs, farm products and even exchange labor by doing something for someone who needed the work done and then that one would return the favor by doing the work that the other person needed done! But ya see, no taxes come out of this bartering and so the greedy souls in Gov't figured out a way to stop the bartering and tax the goods and or the labors exchanged! Good, hard-working people without the financial means did this a lot and the drs and businesses took things in trade for that was all they could get or do the practicing of meds and etc. for free! Many did it for free, but they also needed to make a living to survive, also!

What is wrong with our modern day currency is that inflation has caused it to be worthless with more and more of it needing to be printed by the US Mint to purchase anything! Precious metals like silver, gold, platinum, pewter along with precious gems hold their value and also increase in value as the paper dollars and the worthless clad coins made of lead, copper and zinc decrease in their purchasing value!

Would I exchange precious metals for commodities? NO! Only if that was the only way I could have what I needed to survive in this mortal body! May God have mercy upon us all and save us from our enemies, both foreign and domestic! Amen! Our domestic enemies are occupying the White House along with BO's Czars whom he has appointed to ensnare us with Communist, Marxism and Muslimism and ruin our nation that was settled by God-fearing forefathers by fighting the Revolutionary War to free us from England's stronghold and formed our Constitution that has kept us free from those who are dictators by our own men and women fighting and shedding their precious blood on the battlefields that we might be free and remain free as One Nation Under God to whom we owe everything that we do have!

That is pretty neat. Reminds me of the old stories my dad told me about.
