Re: Swiss Firm Introduces Divisible Gold Card: SHTF
That's interesting. Still, gold is too expensive to be used in most transactions. Now if they do this with silver they're really on to something.
Re: Swiss Firm Introduces Divisible Gold Card: SHTF
It's the Swiss, we're talking about over achievers anonymous here. But I think you might be onto something with silver cards. Probably all they'd extend us with our credit rating anyway.L1A1Rocker wrote:That's interesting. Still, gold is too expensive to be used in most transactions.

I kinda like it.
It's at the same time both unsettling and invigorating to think paper printed by the FED may be worthless without gold some day.

I like the idea. When money is worthless use silver for small items, food,etc. and gold card for Dr. and dentist bills, guns & ammo, etc.
Re: Swiss Firm Introduces Divisible Gold Card: SHTF
I've experimented using gold coins complemented with paper currency in moderate transactions at ma & pop shops. I couldn't believe how many people on the east coast frown at it with ignorance, with remarks like, "that's not worth anything to me". It wasn't until I hit Omaha that the response more commonly became, "wish more of my customers would do this".Hush wrote:I like the idea.

I checked out the company website. They sell multiple size cards in both gold & silver.

Now I can really see this catching on amongst vendors at gun shows. There's already a bit of it going on, but this could really kick it off.snapshot wrote:Here you go: http://www.combibar.com/products/100g-combibar-silver/L1A1Rocker wrote:That's interesting.

Re: Swiss Firm Introduces Divisible Gold Card: SHTF
Here's how I see PMs being used if things go bad and we're in a barter system.
Hungry Bob shows up wanting to barter n ounce of silver for some chickens. He holds up an 1 ounce coin and asks how many they will buy.
I tell hungry Bob that it will get him 2 chickens.
Hungry Bob goes on to explain that the coin is worth $40.00 because that is what he paid for it.
I reply that it might be what he paid for it, but to me, it's worth 2 chickens.

Absolutely. Only problem, and a big one, is that they haven't been cleared to import to the states yet. I'm trying to order one of each right now. I'll update this thread if I make any head room, but it doesn't look good. Might have to wait several months.L1A1Rocker wrote:Now I can really see this catching on amongst vendors at gun shows.

Re: Swiss Firm Introduces Divisible Gold Card: SHTF
It's voluntary barter, and not minted federal currency, or in any way a representation of. I had my lawyer work on it before I even thought about it. You can research the NORFED case for an example of creating an alternative & illegal form of "legal tender". We're not talking "liberty dollars" here.

I hadn't realized that. I did go over to APMEX after my last post to look for some but didn't see any, now I know why. The only other issue I see is that it's weighted in grams, not ounces.

Then there is gold leaf used for repairing antique furniture, it comes in very thin sheets of gold.
One has to be careful buying it as there is a imitation or "counterfeit" gold leaf sold in better hardware stores.
Lol I enjoyed bakerjw post about two chickens for an ounce of silver, "I reply that it might be what he paid for it, but to me, it's worth 2 chickens."

My point was the trust issue... e.g. "Who is this guy and why should I believe this isn't a plated chunk of lead?"snapshot wrote:It's voluntary barter, and not minted federal currency, or in any way a representation of.
