It would teach him to follow Gresham's Law.

'Hot' fiat.

UK Inflation for December 2010 soared to CPI 3.7% from 3.3% which is set against academic economist expectations of just a few hours earlier of 3.3%. This now puts UK inflation Higher than that of hyperinflation prone Zimbabwe's CPI at 3.2%, thus making a mockery of long standing commentary in the press that it was ridiculous to compare Britain's inflation problems with that of Zimbabwe.

99% of the :baa don't know the value :ROFL:

Maybe it would have been just as (un)productive to give her a silver quarter and asked for change.

I bet if he would have argued that it was a legal tender USA coin and pointed out to her the $50 face value, she would have taken it. He didn't give her enough time to process what she was holding before he gave her two paper dollars and basically asked for the coin back.

[StreetsOfGold]

He actually HANDED it to her. Ballsy

[Awoke]

afaic, it is way too risky to be experimenting with the sheep out there, with a real gold coin.

He's gonna get burnt one day.

[Low Pan]

I would have paid for his Taco out of my pocket and kept the coin. Quick 1,398% yield, not that it really matters though since PM's are the ultimate buy and hold.

edit: actaully, better idea, ring up the $50 face value, give him $49 in change. Then replace the Gold "$50" face Coin w/ $50 of FRN's, can't get fired that way ;D

[Awoke]

JJ Golddot, why did you delete your post on this?

[platinumdude]

If they went for it, he would of been crying trying to get it back.
