Remonetization of metals is going to occur...gold,silver,perhaps copper .If we actually coined money again with these 3 metals then an International agreement would have to be reached on their value ie; you can't coin a 1 dollar copper piece if the price of copper is not set "worldwide". I think more likely that audited reserves of gold, silver, etc will be collateral for new script.Our dollars will be worthless.Confiscation does not have to occur because I would be only to happy to trade my physical metal for treasuries that were backed by something real while collecting an interest on the new script.I would think the lion's share of people would agree. What about owning a silver mine? Interesting! Collateralizeing currencies would not mean that precious metals would have to be fixed. Likely they would eventually find a free market area of value that would be much higher than they are now. To collateralize the world's present amount of U.S. currency ONLY,would take more gold than exists right now ,(at present dollar value/gold ratio), so a huge dollar debasement will be assured.Silver will have to be part of reserves,even with new script being a multiple times more valuable than present dollars.There is just SO MUCH cash out there! The only thing that could hurt a gold/silver producer is a tax and if G&S go to the moon (so to speak),then not even that would hurt the investment. Since I can't control the inevitable ,all I can do is prepare with solid producers.Personally ,I prefer non dividend paying cash cows.No big promises,no debt and steady production.Everyone at US Silver whether a laborer,manager or investor will do well,so long as nobody want's more than their fair share.
