I have a ton of silver, but it's all dinnerware. I don't think a fine set of Towle Old Master is going to do me a lot of good after the apocalypse

I thought Krugerrands were still illegal for U.S. citizens to purchase and own?
"South African Krugerrands banned
However, in 1985, because the South African government was white-ruled, Congress banned the importation of Krugerrands. By then, an estimated 22 million Krugerrands gold coins had already been imported, and the ban did not affect the status of gold bullion Krugerrands coins already in the United States. Today an active market continues for Krugerrands and thousands trade daily.
In 1994, Congress lifted the importation ban, and gold bullion Krugerrands were again offered for sale in the U.S.
By then, however, Gold Eagles had captured the U.S. gold bullion coin market, and the South African effort to promote Krugerrands in the U.S. ended.
Today, Krugerrands sell at prices below Gold Eagle prices and remain favorite gold coins for gold buyers seeking to buy bargain bullion gold."
Thanks for "helping Africa", Ronnie.
It wasn't Reagan.
Anyway, the Krugerrands sell for a lower premium because they have a lower gold content than other bullion coins.

It will as long as you have food to eat with it.
Imagine, the S has hit the F, we are reduced to eating grubs we found in a rotted log BUT we're eating them with fine silver. Now THAT'S the American way!

Butters is professor destructo or whatever and some little kid is his sidekick. Everytime Butters comes up with an evil plan (cutting the head off a statue, blocking out the sunlight etc...) the sidekick yells SIMPSONS DID IT! Until Butters goes crazy because he cant come up with a plan that wasnt on the Simpsons
Wow, I love that episode and I completely spaced the reference.
Don't forget, at the end of the episode Butters FINALLY comes up with some far out plan that the Simpson's didn't do only to hear it announced that the Simpsons WILL do it in the next episode. LOL...
That sounded new so I wiki'd it. I
haven't
seen that episode, just the one before it (with the garden hose plot).
Now I have something to live for...

From Wikipedia: "The Krugerrand was the first gold coin to contain precisely one ounce of fine gold..."
The US double-eagle is 0.9675 ounce. The English Sovereign is 1/2 ounce.

This thread has inspired me to sort through the coin collection I inherited, and start liquidating.
I think the wheat pennies alone will end up financing some new tactical gear.

I don't necessarily disagree - but betwixt the Dems and the RINOs, I doubt a veto would hold. Plus there may have beewn a trade-off for something he wanted...
