Who was that guy who wrote all the books back around 1975, advocating the buying up of gold? I remember it was a short name, four or five letters maybe. He became very popular, then disappeared from view. James |

Mr. Browne is deceased. Of course, there were many many others. I have recently come accross two or three copies of Hoppe's book on Gold coins, which was and is one of the best things ever written on the subject. Very scholarly, insightful and entertaining. Mr. Hoppe was recommending gold sovereigns when they cost $12 each. I got my first copy off of a book bargain table at the Smithsonian Institute in the summer of 1975. oly |

Hello
On your posting below. Coin Money, in the United States has always had the protection under the U.S. Constitution under section-eight (clause five and six). LINK: http://www.house.gov/house/Constitut...stitution.html Paper Money, in the United States did not start until 1861 during the U.S. Civil War. It printed currency, revenue stamps (postage stamps), government obligations, and other security documents. Link: http://www.moneyfactory.gov/section.cfm/2/314 Currently the "Bureau of Engraving and Printing", lost on a court rulling on paper money and the blind. (See Below). I do not know if this is bing appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. SNIP ---------------------- SNIP FROM: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...ign-a-setback/ Nevertheless, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit said a currency that does not accommodate the special needs of the blind means the government is discriminating against them based on their disability, which violates the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. Unless the U.S. Supreme Court overturns the 2-to-1 decision, U.S. currency is likely to have a different look and feel to it within a few years that includes raised bumps or different materials for each bill. The Washington-based American Council of the Blind sued the Treasury Department, which argued that a redesign of the U.S. currency created an unreasonable burden on the U.S. government. The National Federation of the Blind filed an amicus brief in support of the Treasury Department. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing hired a research firm to determine the costs and best methods for redesigning the currency. Their report is due early next year. "oly" wrote in message ...

If you want to buy gold with your greenies, it's legal to do so. You don't have to change the freakin' world. Just buy it. oly |
