Coined For Money: Round-Up Aug. 20-26, 2012

Speculators are ruing everything, according to my best estimate. The dollar has been collapsing since the 1930s when they issued the last St. Gaudens eagles. Then again in 1964 when they issued the last silver coins. Since 2001 the dollar is on verge of collapse due to unstable world economies.

The Euro Zone is a great roller coaster ride on speculators talks, in the lead car is France, Germany, and Greece. 

Old November 2011 article predicted silver at $140 an ounce by the end of 2012, it barely made it to $30 today.

Another early November 2011 opinion piece celebrated the death of the dollar.

Silver headed to about $60 in September...or not still a week away.

There is something great about being a person of science that knows if everything did collapse, to any extent, that owning silver, gold, or paper money is as useful as owning crystal vase. 

There was a great book that I wanted to read about a father/husband who spent his life hoarding and burying silver coins. He ruined his family's life and then died waiting for the collapse of society. After that they never found his hoards and are just happy he is gone. If anyone knows the name of this book leave a comment.
