    Coin weight

    I think I found a way to save money , I have to spend like any one
    Bills (enough said) But for me it's the control of the fast spending
    fast food you could pass on . the unnecessary $8 on a drink - ding dongs -and a bag of chips .

    Whats the trick ? ... weight ...scrappers know weight - they feel it -there tuned to it . It's a part of there senses that
    others don't have. Most important is they manipulate the weight to there advantage What to take apart . What to leave alone
    for best end result payment of metal with weight .

    So as a challenge I have been looking for 40% silver 1/2 dollars. I started off with $30 bucks worth of clads to hunt
    & found none . Heck I still have $30 so I put them in leather pouch and in my front pocket figuring I'll use it for
    casual spending . Debit / visa cards are for bills and fuel . Back to the pouch $30 bucks in 1/2 dollars has weight
    you feel it all day , you know you have money . It's just not paper money it's real when you spend it you feel the loss of weight

    You know how you feel when you bring in 12 pounds AL and see for some lame excuse you were paid 10 pounds cause of a screw or two (a touch of dirty) simply stated we are one with weight .

    I found with money if connected to weight
    I just don't want that pouch to get empty
    I want to feel the weight .I'll spend it but not on unnecessary crap . I'm thinking that paper money wile it's what we were born around , we never experienced what was the monetary start ... weighted coins.
    Gold Silver sure thats a time ago & our grand to great grandparents they knew what a pocket of change was , there was a physical connection to it you felt it in your pocket when you spent it the weight was gone & you felt the loss as though you lost your wallet.

    Paper cash we spend silly cause it's paper and the genius of paper currency is like a credit card , you spend and don't feel it.
    Thats the design of it , it's the currency of the masses - designed to trick us away from our real money - Gold - Silver But we still have copper
    clad coins . not steel but Copper . Try is get a - hundred bucks of the new small dollar coins or get some old IKES . half-dollars
    you'd be surprised , it not like .25 or dimes and nickels to spend . Five to twenty bucks counts fast and those coins you feel the truth of what your spending .So yeah I spent less this week cause I'll be darned if I give away any weighted metal away frivolous
    just like if you try to cut my load by 5 pounds I want to know why .

    The Fed gave us inflation they took our coins they gave paper cause they knew it's our prison and there enrichment .
    & who has all the gold in tons ? , they do , how did they get, ? they stole it from us .
    yes we can buy some back , try to have a gold silver hedge but it's not free for us like it was for them.
    They also know who has it , they watch us .

    If you need to eat out, go to Subway and get their special, 6" sub- bag of chips- and a drink for $6.00. At least your getting somewhat of a meal.

    Personally, If I have to eat out I hit the value section of the fast food places.
    Or Speedway has 2 big slices of pizza for 2.50 and a 1.00 drink.
    Darn, now I've made myself hungry, time to raid the fridge.

    hell if your looking for a meal deal fast food and fast bathroom to shed that weight again and feel it lol of course there all different prices and such but ours you get a med drink a bag of doritoes and a gordita supreme for $2.59 still not counting for that fact im fat and this is a snack though lol as for the feel of money indeed I like you idea it was what I did as a kid because of the love for the feel of money I used to only carry 1/2 dollars with me for my day spending which it was 50cents for a movie back then too lol but as I grew up I love doing so. I have $25 penny boxes I get from the bank and use as coaster and book ends door stops and its something that works and I can see and feel the money that's there now I don't know if I could carry my money in change today cause paying someone out in 500 or so gold dollar sacs would be memorable but in a bad way lol

    I sometimes find myself thinking about how much steel something costs. When I was at McDonald's I knew I just spent a washing machine and and a lawnmower for that meal. Makes me spend less when I think about it like that.

    Spend Ikes, small dollars and half dollars when ever you can, also $2 bills it's all current money just most people think they are rare! LOL. Keep buying 1/2 dollars you will find 40% and 90% ers sooner than later and yep don't take them back to the bank spend them for fun! Also just a FYI a $2 bill in the G-string is way better than 4 1/2 dollars LOL

    Buy the silver coins and put them away. Buy the gold coins and put them away. I have a bunch of junk silver that I have n trouble being able to handle. It is also fun to hold one out for someone to see and they will tell me what it is I have, many times they miss the mark. I would say that 95% of the PM's I have are the result of scrapping, yard saling and luck.
