An ad in USA Today by World Reserve Monetary Exchange advertises that they will give you a free safe if you buy their brilliant never circulated coins. Here's the deal; A free Presidential Armored safe will be shipped to you, you pay the freight, after confirmation of your purchase of 4,100 U.S. Gov't coins. The coins are 100 Thomas Jefferson dollars and 4,000 American Bison nickels. You will receive all this for making 19 payments of $98 and paying the freight on the safe. So lets do the math. 19 x $98 = $1862 money for the coins $200 Estimated cost of freight for safe $2062 Grand Total This had better be a nice safe if you are paying $2062 for $300 in coins. I forgot to say the Golden dollars will be sealed in 2 Ballistic Vault Rolls of 50 and the Bison nickels will be in 16 heavy vault bricks containing 160 sealed vault rolls of 25 coins Oh, you only have 72 hours to respond.  |

Well, still give 'em credit! An ad in the USA Today doesn't come cheap!

the presidential armored safe sells on their site for $436.00, it's fairly small, 18x21x14", shipping on the thing is $98.00. So $300 in coin, plus $536 for safe with shipping= $836.00 Can be your for $1862.00. So basically they're taking an extra grand out of your pocket just to say, "SUCKA!"

The secret is in the material the safe is made from. It's Kryptonite. So even Superman can't open it.

I have seen similar adds in the Houston Chronicle in the past so I have to say its real.. clever wording and hype try to fool you into thinking you are going to get gold....

Can anyone say "Lowe's" ? A variety of safes are available there for a lot less money.
