Where do you get artificial coins?

Answer 1

From the US Mint!! All coins that have no intrinsic value (i.e. no bullion value) are "artificial", IMHO. Just as the Federal Reserve Note, unlike the previous "Silver Certificate", is just that: a "note" or promise, or piece of paper. or "artificial" money. That is why the Federal Reserve Note "dollar" has lost 95% of it's value since the "Fed" was established in 1913. When the last 5% of it's "value" disappears, you may give me credit for the right answer!!

Meanwhile, real money, gold and silver, are still worth what it always was. But in terms of our "artificial" dollar, a $20 gold piece of the 20's is priced now at about $1,100.00 Two 1964 Half dollars ( One dollar in real silver money) is now priced in "artificial U>S> Federal Reserves Notes at about $22.50

I have some artificial dollars from the twenty-first century country of Zimbabwe. (2006, 2007, 2008) Some say One Dollar, some say Five Hundred Thousand Dollars.

And before their artificial paper "money" went to zero, they printed a 100 Trillion Dollar note!!

Hope this helps you with your "artificial" question.
