I like all the Modern Day Commemoratives. I want to take all of them with me. I also like the nickels with the frontier backs. I'd take some of the gold coins out now, also. I better bring along some Silver Liberties too! What would you bring with you into the future of current coins?

Come to think of it, if I could travel to the future with these coins of mine, first I'd find a Red Book and see what they're worth now. But how would I pay for the Red Book? I'd need future (probably plastic) coins, and I'd have to get a job, and I wouldn't have the skills. I guess I could go to a coin collectors, if there were still any around, and he would give me a price, but he'd probably pay me in units on a card everyone was supposed to have (and I wouldn't have one). No Cash Allowed To Be Handled. I'd be in a pickle with all those nice nickels. |

That's so predictable shuckins. Of course gold will still be valuable, won't it? Unless someone discovers gold on the moon or Mars and floods the market with it until it's as common as tin. What kind of coin now in circulation would you take with you into the future - betting it would rise in value in say, 100 years? No gold. No silver. Just regular circulated coins.

Which coins are you taking into the future with you, right now? Because, as I pointed out in the other thread, you're already travelling into the future. Problem is, once you're there, you can't go back, because by then the future will have become the present, and current laws of physics imply that travelling backwards in time (from the present to the past, or the future to the present) is either impossible or requires extraordinarily advanced technology to achieve. For myself, I'm taking my whole coin collection.  Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

What am I supposed to do with Future money?. Nobody knows what it is. Then, When people finally know what it is, its only worth face value.
Bring a gun. You might need it.

You'd be thrown in jail for possessing counterfeit money !.....(if you went to the "past" with it!) Bringing "future money" into the past wouldn't work ! But I would sneak my gold and silver back in time I suppose....gold is gold and silver is silver.....melt em' down if I had to.....(awwww... but I'd hate to do THAT with my "Proof" gold & silver! Man !) And as far as going into the future.....Yup !..Me too !.....  ....I'd bring MY WHOLE COLLECTION !.......what would the premium be on stuff 263 years from now ?....... .eaglefoot goes to ponder his Presidential dollars again in a new/more favorable light now...

My wife is Buddhist (from Taiwan, so she can translate some of those old Chinese coins out there). But enough of her, except that she believes in reincarnation. Everyone who hasn't reached nirvana will come back again, usually with about 44 days. Soooo, if you knew you'd be coming back again, and if you could somehow reach back into your past life and get information, wouldn't you love to hide-away some cool coins for your next life - Maybe bury them by an old stone wall like in that movie, what was the name of it, somethhing like "The Redemption" or something with oh, that guy who starred in Saving Private Ryan. Man, my mind has become blank! Where'd I put that 1869 three-cent coin? What a fuddlehead I am!

Gold... You do know they can turn lead into gold. The energy required just cost to much. I think that puts a cap on gold's price. Granted that ceiling may be high right now, but in the future it might not be.
If we find a way to make energy real cheap then expensive metals might start being made in a lab.

The Shawshank Redemption was the name of the movie with Morgan Freeman and Tom Hanks. He left some money by an old rock wall. My memory comes back to me two weeks later.

Currently they have made an astoundingly high amount of about 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 oz  i I don't think that would do much to the price of gold, but what do I know? |
