    "By 2020 Australia could be cash free" The propaganda is ratcheting up

    I hope not. The article rolls out the usual "benefits", plus a new one: it is apparently frustrating to stand behind someone paying for their coffee with coins. It sums up with a claim that there simply can be no objection: "... all that would be hindered now are under-the-table tax dodges...

    Down goes gold... items on my wishlist

    I'm sure a few others have a wishlist of items to get if the price drops enough. My current desire tends towards one of these, the 2017 gold Queen's Beasts Griffin (the silver one is nice too, but I fear milkspots): Source: http://agaunews.com/category/mint/royal-mint/

    Will Trump make strong hand stackers rich?

    Will Trump's time as President result in a massive increase in the value of PMs relative to other assets? Some initial falls may see the usual suspects come out of the woodwork to berate stackers for holding worthless metals, and some stackers may become dissolutioned and dump their their...

    ATO considering changes to GST treatment of gold (and maybe silver)

    Does anyone here know how bullion is treated in the UK for taxation purposes? Looks like the ATO is considering similar changes to those made in Britain. From a recent article quoted in Bullion Baron's thread: I assume that the ATO would include silver in the taxation changes if they are...

    The worst bad guys narcotraffickers, right-wing paramilitary militias, left-wing insurgents, etc are now into gold mining. Can a war on gold can't be far behind? "Gold has emerged as one of the best options to store value and even generate returns on investments in an era marked by a loose...
