The Merits of Precious Metals

Silver and gold have always been trustworthy as currencies, faithful as savings accounts, and globally accepted as portable wealth. Time has shown that these two monetary metals are vital for prudent household stewardship as well as strong infrastructure for vibrant local communities.

As savings, silver and gold are simple and effective to utilize. Drop them in a box, and you are done. They remain valuable, portable, and beautiful without depending on the honesty, success, or existence of any electric power, computer network, bank, business, or even government. In the event of needing to sell them, one can quickly find a fair exchange and a willing buyer, since silver and gold are highly liquid commodities with real-time publicly visible market prices.

As portable wealth, silver and gold carry considerable value in a small footprint. One only needs to reach into the box, take it in hand and walk down the street, or step unto an airplane, to transport this wealth with them to their destination. In order to transfer the value directly to someone else, not requiring an intermediary, one simply places the shiny metal in another person's palm and says, "This is now yours."

As currency, the trust and stability afforded by these metals have been vital in forming every major economy. Despite their mostly-discontinued-use as a medium of payment, silver and gold continue to sustain today's economies. Gold remains essential as the prime collateral held by central banks and silver is irreplaceable in hi-tech industries, being used in most circuits and solar panels. We have found that small vendors are eager to accept silver and gold as payment when they are invited to do so. Many quickly recognize that central banks will continue to debase currencies and that gold and silver as a local second currency will always represent sound money.
