In his comments on the subject, my correspondent wondered whether there is sufficient gold and silver coinage in private hands to sustain private economic activity after "the Great Reckoning" of which my namesake wrote. I assured him that I knew of quite a large number of enthusiasts of "hard money" who could readily supply specie and bullion for any and all who were able to provide a useful exchange of value in return. <smile> Regards, Jim http://www.GoldBarterHoldings.com/ http://www.two-cents-worth.com/?101468&EG --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keyboard (SRK) when accessing your e-gold account(s) via the web and shopping cart interfaces to help thwart keystroke loggers and common viruses.
