As US dolor and other world currencies are on their way to the trash bin of history, other commodities such as Gold and silver are once again in high demand. There is no better way to ensure your saving than buying gold and other precious metals.
This image is a macro of a 1 OZ (31.5 g) Swiss Gold Bar. I took 101 images with varying focal length and combined them to get the resulting image with almost all of it in focus.

I don't think I'd advertise it though....you know that owning gold and silver used to be illegal in this country don't you? The last time the government got in a bind they made owning precious metals illegal so there is good reason to suspect they might do the same thing again when the going gets tough.

@Twelvebit: I honestly did not know that. So long for the FREEDOM. Thanks for letting me know.

Only the ignorant believe the propaganda about "freedom." That said, this country has been relatively free compared to others, at least for certain kinds of people (for instance, it hasn't been very free historically for black people). There used to be a lot more of a difference between the US and the rest of the world, but with freedom shrinking here and growing elsewhere there are now many countries in the world that are just as free, or more free, than the US --again, for certain groups of people.
You could not legally own gold in this country from 1933 until 1974. Probably only about 25% of the population turned in their gold back in 1933, most people continuing to hold it illegally. But back then there wasn't an omni-spying state like we have now, that catalogs every recorded purchase. There's no escape today from the Leviathan State. Some "freedom," eh?
