Ok, so there's a nearby representative who says that driving is an inalienable right, that obama was born in kenya, and that banks should be forced to accept gold and silver coins. The trifecta def earns him a spot here.
Thats good... I bought some 1oz american eagles [$50 gold coins] back in 2002 to give to my 6 kids and grand kids on special events. One of my sons graduated HS last yr and I gave him one. I was kinda hoping he would save it and told him so. I also told him what it was worth. [about $1250 then]. Long story/short. He takes it to a local bank and some idiot teller offered him 2 $20 bills and a $10. He comes to me [thinking I lied to him] and I tell him I advised him to save it and let me know in advnce if he was going to cash. Anyway, I took him to local numismatic gold exchange and they actually gave him $12 over spot price because it was an Eagle coin. I think he inadvertantly learned a good lesson about banks.
I'll name a few
