HISTORY PROVES THEIR PURCHASING POWER WILL MAINTAIN OR OFTEN EXCEED WHAT IT WAS WHEN THE WERE ISSUED. Thank You: From my experience as a dealer and hard-asset financial consultant and my research as author of my book the comprehensive best-seller: “Fiat Paper Money the History and Evolution of Our Currency. ©" Prepare Now: The value of our fiat money is changing too fast. It buys less and less than ever before, and soon will buy close to nothing. Only a few people voice concern. In the hundreds of currency collapses and hyperinflations I have examined, experts convincingly assure the people, "it can't happen here." I don't claim to be an expert or a prophet. But in my business, I have become a student of my transactions of the silver and gold coins I have bought and sold. Thousands of old invoices with figures and signatures dating back to the 1960s clearly show how prices for those very coins have increased well over forty-five fold. All I offer are my humble observations on the current evolution of our fiat money. To ignore the incontrovertible facts seems to me to be foolhardy. One must consider that our entire culture has been conditioned to believe that our money can and should lose value over time. Our psychology has changed to the point where we don't demand accountability for the loss of value. And there is no stop-gap for a sudden and total collapse of purchasing power. The unprepared face dire consequences. © R. T. FOSTER FOSTER CONSULTING--MONEY & VALUE2189 BANCROFT WAYBERKELEY, CALIFORNIA 94704For 9 decades I have been buying and selling coins ....IN 1961 WHILE DRIVING TO MY COLLEGE IN COLORADO, SPRINGS ON ROUTE 50 I SPENT 4 HALF DOLLARS LIKE THESE AT A DINER NESTLED IN THE KANSAS WHEAT FIELDS, NEAR DODGE CITY, KANSAS FOR A HUGE 20 PLUS OUNCE PORTERHOUSE STEAK, RELISH TRAY, SOUP, SALAD, DESERT [HOMEMADE CHERRY PIE WITH TWO SCOOPS OF VANILLA ICE CREAM ]--ALSO SECONDS WERE AVAILABLE ON SOUP, RELISH TRAY AND SALAD--BUT NOT DESERT--HOMEMADE PIE A LA MODE. I VIVIDLY RECALL THE WARM SMILE AFTER THE WAITRESS RECEIVED HER TIP IN THE FORM OF CHANGE FROM THE MEAL. THEN I WAS OBLIVIOUS TO HOW THE WORLD AROUND ME WORKED. OVER SIX DECADES LATER I SEE, EVEN FEEL THE NATURE OF AN IMMEDIATE CURRENCY COLLAPSE THROUGHLY ENVELOPING AND ROBBING THE MONEY OF MILLIONS. IT WILL DESTROY INSTITUTIONS MANY DEPEND UPON FOR THEIR SURVIVAL. I LIVED AS THE "CULTURE OF FIAT"© [MY NEXT NEW BOOK] TOOK COMMAND OF EVEN MY LIFE. IT IS HAPPENING AS I WRITE. AFTER ALL WE HAVE HAD A SLOW BUT PERSISTENT ONE FOR THE LAST 60 YEARS. I FEAR THE SOLVENCY OF THE CURRENT FINANCIAL SYSTEM AND CULTURE IS IT AT RISK. WRITERS RARELY WRITE ABOUT THE SPECIFICS OF MONEY----PROBABLY BECAUSE IT HAS BECOME THE MOST BINDING PART OF THE WORLD'S CULTURE. IT IS SO TAKEN GRANTED IT IS SIMPLY IGNORED. YET, KNOWING THE FACTS IS LIFESAVING: BUY AS MANY SILVER AND GOLD COINS AS YOU CAN--THEY ALWAYS WILL RETAIN THAT SAME DEGREE OF PURCHASING POWER NOW AND WELL INTO THE DISTANT FUTURE.
