Have you seen the U.S. currency lately? It is cheap tin. Any model citizen could get more precious metal from the lid off a Copenhagen can. At least the Mexicans and Canadians and Tobacco companies have fairly good art on their coins. Were it not for these equally worthless and ugly fiat currencies that the U.S. exchanges with, there is no question that we would be experiencing a recession that puts the Great Depression to shame.

You can tell a lot about a country by the currency they mint/print, and there is no question that U.S. money is going down hill. As a currencies “literal value investor,” my advice: start a pre-’64 coin collection (add a few Sterlings [the ones that are actually silver]), buy a loupe for appraising precious gems and buy gold by the ounce from local pawn shops (or open one and buy it from the distressed). Some bugs survive ice ages - they are called gold bugs.
