Fact is the common guy on the street is worried and some guys are pulling their savings and not leaving much money in banks.

Guys who never used to think this way think the US economy is going to crash and dont want their money tied to Uncle Sam.

I was once given a United States 1$ Silver Certificate for my birthday as a kid. it was a 1934s. It entitles the bearer to one dollars worth of real silver.

It is worth about $3-5 today. 1934 was the last year the govt gauranteed their money was worth its value in silver.

Now all money is produced on computers and Big Banks lend you money they dont even have (and get back 20-29% - what a racket!) and noone needs printing presses anymore.
