Why do think I hoard copper cents?

Its not for the bullion value.

Interesting, do you use them to make jackets or solid copper bullets?

Gubmint tracks what it wants to track.

They can't manage to find 20 million illegals, but can trace a single sick cow to a single farm.

Since anyone could walk into any bank and get a $20 gold piece, there was no reason to claim it was sold at a coin show. "I spent it".

Yeah? Where? Got a receipt? Etc, etc.

Do you get a receipt if you get two tens for a twenty?

I remember reading that things like coins, watches and other collectibles were exempt from this. Wikipedia has more on it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102

Not that it can't happen in the future.

I've thought about those issues when I bought a Nazi silver coin. The silver could have come from somebodies pried filling before their body was creamated. Came to the conclusion most silver or gold has been blood money at one point and that is was more important to keep it for posterity. Most kids now understand little about those times, other than the whole, "Hitler kicked little puppies too!" type of argument.
Rest in Peace

At $1.29/oz, silver wasn't worth it. There were (are?) bars of gold made from prisoners' fillings, tho.

You already KNOW that we don't, Fred. OTOH, we ARE talking about gold buying, selling, taxing, confiscating and the nefarious government types who would be sniffing it out. You don't really think that they would settle for a "the dog ate my homework" kind of answer, do you?
