why don't we just melt all the gold dollars in storage to reduce our debt?

I did not know that Sacagawea Dollars were actually made of gold!

 

They aren't....they are copper and brass. A few gold ones were made and returned to the Mint.

 

The $1 coins have NO gold in them.

Every day, I lose more faith in the intelligence of the American people. Its things like this that help confirm it.

 

I was thinking the same thing.

Of course, they are. I see people bringing them into shops and shows daily wanting to sell them off before the price of gold falls anymore.

 

 

By the way, Goldfinger, I think you need your sarcasm meter checked.

I thought someone seriously implied -- or others might believe -- that they were actually made of gold. I know the vets here or serious collectors know otherwise, just wanted to make sure.

For kicks and giggles I would say the price of gold has already dropped, but I will buy them for 90 cents apiece ...

...I find it incredibly funny that it took a year for the station to finally figure out that their story was beyond stupid!!!! I originally posted this in 2012.
