US Gold Coin Sales Explode

As confidence in paper currencies continue to wain, sales of gold coins in the U.S. has soared in May, already twice what it was in May 2009, with several more days to go before the month ends.

So far in May, 158,000 ounces of gold coins have sold in the U.S., according to the U.S. mint.

Gold coins aren't used primarily for investment purposes, but for an alternative currency for those who believe geopolitical events, or the debasing of the currency could render paper money worthless, or at minimum, of little value.

When news of the bailout of Greece was agreed to by German officials, the people of Germany bought up all the available physical gold they could, and there wasn't near enough to go around, and supply wasn't close to meeting demand.

Germany has experienced the failure of their currency in the past, and the people of Germany know it could happen again, the reason why they ordered or bought every coin available.

Gold coin demand will continue to soar, as there's nothing out there that will change the direction we're going, and politicians have committed to extraordinary debt and printing of money in order to keep their jobs at all costs, as the general public still doesn't realize what the endless bailouts, government debt, and printing of paper money is going to them in the long run.

That is slowly changing, and hopefully enough will learn to not only make it through this crisis, but to help change things forever.

At this time, all of us should have some gold coins put away somewhere in case of emergency, and it'll hold its value no matter what happens to the existing currencies.

Make your decision before it gets impossible to acquire gold coins. If things continue to get worse, it'll get harder and harder to get hold of gold coins, and a lot more expensive as well.
