I do these stuff all the times to neighbors,workers,tellers,family and friends its a great to have the ponder about inflation and how its effecting alot of things they buy. I use silver dimes, quarters and maples. Most people are thankful for the heads up and after I told my one buddy he dove head first into his old change looking for silver and saying " so that's why shit cost so much, it makes sense " then I say wouldnt it be great if your work paid you with real valued money like in silver quarters or dollars? By them his pretty fucking amazed that all this has passed silently under everyone nose. And he was so happy when he found a silver dime in his old change LOL !!! The best also is I will ask someone if they want to make a some extra money then I say all ya gotta do is give me 100 bucks worth of dimes,quarters or dollar coins that are pre-68 Canadian coins, and I'll give you $150-250 dollars for it lol I usually tell them the whole " angle" and there shocked after how much its really worth , one day I'm gonna offer that deal to some young teens and I hope they come for there " big profits" LOL !!! Even if the only find 30 bucks worth I'll pay them over face value while I will start LMAO!!!

I love the presentation. I wish I thought of it. I'm just being picky.

The only problem with this presentation is that the silver certificates are worth only their collectors or face value, and they have only been worth their collectors value since the 60's. The silver value of the certificate was destroyed by government decree. The only true store of wealth is the actual gold or silver. Stupid government.

Wow, this is so simple yet so informative to the regular folk. Thanks for the idea.

I have a blue one. Where do I cash in for my silver?

You might also pick up a Zimbabwe 100 Billion dollar bill off eBay.. they're fairly cheap. That'd be a good way to show what happens to a fiat currency when they inflate.

ROFL, man, makes me think of Austin Powers...

 

[nobody's_hero]

You didn't just Ron Paul 'em. You Constitution'ed them, lol.

Good work. This is a great idea/tactic.

My only problem is that I couldn't keep these in my wallet, I'd probably goof up and spend them.

I'd keep them. If you could use them like the O.P., for education purposes, they're worth a lot more than their value in silver.

Man, that's a neat idea.

*Bows and worships the O.P.*

YEah, thats true.. Sometimes I mention that to people.. But with 4 people all getting it from the same time.. I didnt want to confuse anybody

This link gives a nice rundown of the de-evolution of the dollar.

Awesome job, I might start carrying those around after I move.

Edit:
I just thought of another thing you can add:
"When the government increases the money supply, you lose money due to inflation which punishes people who are savers. You can try to beat inflation by investing in the stock market, but look what happened to the value of stock due to government's interventionist policies? The way things are now, the government punishes both savers and investors and it's gonna keep happening until the people wake up and call for a change".

Somewhat might ask "But I thought it was a lack of government regulations that contributed to the stock collapse?"
I'll leave that to you guys, or you might borrow elements of Schiff's statement below (which he made before the September meltdown)
http://jglobal.blogspot.com/2008/06/peter-schiff-on-federal-reserve.html
and tie that into the value of stock:
"What few economic leaders have acknowledged is that the Federal Reserve itself is responsible for the real estate and credit bubbles, which are the source of our current troubles. By keeping interest rates too low for too long, the Fed ignited a speculative fever and engendered a disregard for risk management that pushed asset prices above rational levels. Should we blame the private sector for taking advantage of all the cheap credit, or the Federal Reserve for supplying it? If a kindergarten teacher passes out handfuls of Pixie Sticks, and then leaves her classroom unattended for several hours, should we blame the five year olds for the hysteria that ensues?"
