I'm making plans to attend this show. It will be the first major show I will have the pleasure to attend. I am tentativally planning on going Friday. My thoughts are the crowds will be smaller, and the inventory will be less picked through. Would there be any compelling reason to go on Saturday...

Hi guys: Are karats (like of gold) measured by weight or by volume? Most of what I read implies that karats are measured by weight (24k being pure gold), but that just doesn't make any sense. If karats are determined by weight, you would have to know exactly what the alloying metals were to...

i just saw a virgin islands quarter. it is my favorite and actually the only state quarter design i truly like. it has a sparseness and economy of design that works well. uncluttered, unfettered by background noise and really representative of that part of the world, it looks like the where it's...

Hey, I just made a topic about writing to NAMA, and I'm sending them a letter, and a copy of the three bills I am proposing to Congress, looking for support. But I had a question. Is there any way that the vending industry would benefit from denominations larger than $100? I mean, I know that the...

Obama has promised to spend the country into prosperity. Goes right along with fighting for peace and ****ing for virginity... Can you say "hyperinflation"?
