And bitcoin will be outlawed as it could potentially be used by terrorists.

Kate Ellis. They are all good for nothing leadership wise so might as well have something to look at.

^ and to take some heat out of our dollar. With the way the world is at the moment the choice is either keep rates down, or have the AUD skyrocket until we are all unemployed. I'm not trying to support labour labor here but I do think that it is not entirely their fault. I don't think the govt...

Howard left a govt surplus, but everybody I know in my age group was / is mortgaged up to their eyeballs. I believe there was still a trade deficit when Howard was removed.

Short term bubble, permanent floor in the price, who cares! It's not a part of my strategy, but if a bubble gets big enough to get the attention of Joe the cabbie, then demand for physical should perpetuate the bubble (look for those rising premiums) Happened with dotcoms, realestate and even...

If silver starts going to be moon every man and his dog will want it. I actually think that premiums will grow quite a bit should this occur. To me this would be an indicator that it is time to think about unloading a bit.

I get plating done regularly by a company here in Adelaide that do an A-class job with gold, and also deal with one in Vic (Birwood) that can probably do it, would be worth a try although I've only just started using them so can't comment on quality. PM me if you want the details.

The way I do it is stack small amounts all around the house. That way it's like an easter egg hunt for the burglar, which gives me more time to catch in the act. An added bonus is occasionally finding them yourself 'Oh, I forgot I put those there!' Kind of like finding a tenner in your pocket...

Nice :)

I've never done it on a coin capsule, but many times on acrylic, polycarb, styrene plastic. Coin capsules are most likely arcylic of some sort. It will leave thousands of tiny scratches, need to add some elbow grease to the car polish to get them out. Best to use the 1200 in one direction then...

1200 wet & dry paper until the scratch is gone then car polish to get the shine back.

Turkey & others are now buying oil from iran in gold and alternative currencies. I strongly believe this it why Obama is pointing his finger at them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_oil_bourse Likewise china and russia are cutting out the middle man for oil deals. Makes sense since they...

Can I pay in fiat in 5 yrs? :) Seriously though I had some stashed in zip lock bags in a cupboard in the garage. One of the bags wasn't zipped properly and coins tarnished very quickly, others were OK. I think the other stuff I had in the cupboard may have accelerated - cleaning stuff, oils etc.

CNC machining and/or EDM would produce a far better counterfeit coin than printing, and both these technologies have been around for ages. I don't think 3d printing will be a threat in anybody here's lifetime. Very handy for other stuff though.

And then put them in my safe :)

The best way to keep them in tip top condition is to put them in my safe :)

People must have spent the xmas break reflecting on just how stupid it was not to vote for Ron Paul.

I've been curios about silver / oil, I suspect there would be a pretty close corelation there. Also gold / average house in your area - that is going to the indicator I use when the time comes to cash in.

Dimitri seemed to have trouble with a coherent statement at times :)

The only way to do this is to get a dealer who already has storage and distribution infrastructure in place, in which case it would only be fair to give them an opportunity to make a small profit on the purchase, since we are using their infrastructure. I think you will find that spot + mintage...
