Silver & Gold as Money
Since time begin, when Gold and Silver were first discovered and taken out of "mother earth", they have been the legal tender in almost every country. That is until about 150 years ago when someone got the idea of replacing the Silver and gold coinage with paper money and certificates. It happened even earlier when some despot collected these metals from their people and gave them worthless paper money with the promise of paying them back.
At first the Gold and Silver was stashed in their respective palaces, castles or caves. But as time went on, more of these metals were mined and there wasn't anymore room in the Inn to store them. So, they were minted into coins. One example was in Rome. At first the coins contained pure Silver and gold. but as time passed and inflation set in, the coins were minted with less and less of these metals. Finally toward the end of The Roman Empire, the coins that the Caesar minted had less than 5% Silver and Gold content.
The United States printed the first paper money during the "Revolutionary War", but gave up afterward and went back to Gold and Silver coinage. About the time of the "Civil War", paper money was printed again. Both the North and South printed paper money. It was much easier to carry and it didn't jingle in the pocket. These "greenbacks" soon became known as Silver and Gold Certificates. Until 1933, our currency remained a paper currency redeemable in Gold or silver.
Then in 1933, President Roosevelt signed his Executive Order 6102 which forbade the owning of Gold. Gold had to be turned into the government and they received about $20 an ounce. The U.S government then turned around and revalued Gold at $35 an ounce. In a small way, this helped the government in the "Great Depression"?
Nothing was done about the "white" metal known as Silver. In fact the government kept minting Silver coinage until 1964. Then Silver too became too costly. Back then, some Silver coins were: The Roosevelt Dime 1946-1964, the Winged Liberty Head "Mercury" Dime 1916-1945, the Liberty Head "Barber" Dime 1892-1916, and an assortment of quarters, Half dollars and Silver dollars which contained about 90% Silver.
In 1965, maybe because of Vietnam, the various minted U.S. coins contained only 70% and then only 40%. President Nixon removed us from the Silver Standard completely. Now our coins contain not even a trace of silver and have very little intrinsic value. Some of the new coins are just nice to look at.
There are still some coins that have a lot of pure Gold and Silver in them and they are real currency. Visit the Numisnetwork site below and see for yourself. You might even start a business with these top graded coins from around the world.
One word of advice, stay away from all those fake coin offers on television and in the media. One for example, is a 14 Karat Gold plated replica of the "American Buffalo". It contains a very small amout of gold with a value of about $2.50 and you can buy these pieces of junk for $19.95 plus S&H and tax. Get the real McCoy!
