If you want to buy real estate in the future, don't unbank yourself.

In fact get a few extra credit card accounts and only utilize 10% of the full credit available on each at any time. Build your FICO score this way.

Any United States dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar that is dated 1964 or earlier is made of 90% silver.

Nickels were not silver
 Quoting: mondali2


Are nickels worth saving? Are all dates of them okay?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80257640


Yes, contains copper, is real US Treasury money and is not the Federal Reserve currency.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59605405


So I have this correctly...please let me know if I don't.

I should collect these coins:

1982 and prior pennies
1964 and prior dimes, quarters, half dollars, dollars
ANY nickels (for their copper content)

Are any Canadian coins worth keeping?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80257640


You can calculate approximate melt values of Canadian coins from this website. You need to enter the number of coins before it will calculate a value. If you leave the number of coins at zero, it says there is no melt value. Looks like most of the good stuff is pre-1966 with some inconsistent values in 1967 and 1968.

When the poles flip then bitcoin flops! Why?

Because when the magetic poles flip there is no magnetosphere (magnetic field). When there's no magnetic field surrounding the earth that will allow cosmic rays fry every circuit on earth. The magnetosphere acts like a shield. The shield goes down and then everything goes down.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80268212


You may have missed the part where exchanges are the problem and Bitcoin was created to be peer to peer, meaning if you want to trade your cash for coins of any kind (digital or metal) do so face to face like you would at a bank...but, y'know, without the bank building and the vaults and the tellers...because that's unbanking.

If you want an exchange to trade on, you are doing this all wrong.

Re: How to: Unbank Yourself (Bitcoin is not enough!)
Many on this site have demonstrated interest in blockchain technology and the use case of cryptocurrency. There's even a meme about it:
bitcoin

Anyway, so we are at disaster levels of incompetence in the financial sector. The cryptocurrency craze is in full swing and everybody is leering at everybody else whenever the ticker is red and patting themselves on the back on green days.

Face it, you have no idea what you're doing and you're ready to fight about it. Let's get one thing straight: I didn't do this to you and I am here to help, same as always.

Listen up! If you got into cryptocurrency before you picked up pennies and nickels then you started out in error. Go back and collect some coins because the US mint is and has always been more important than the banks. Somehow we got that backwards with Bitcoin and Ethereum over the last decade and the bankers we wanted to escape are now the ones wringing us out, or worse: those in charge now are more terrible than before.

**This post may seem naive or irrelevant to those who do not have enough saved to follow these steps. If that is the case, please get out of all your investments, especially digital currency, and seriously consider a stay for some time at a behavioral health clinic.**

How To: Unbank Yourself
1. Go close your checking account.
2. Get 1 month of expenses in coins.
3. A savings of 3-6 months cash, too.
4. Trade your coins and cash.
5. Now that you have all your friends with cash and coins at home together and everybody is getting along and we're dancing on the graves of the banks while the mint is in full swing with new branches all over the country punching out shiny new eagles in our healthy economy where people aren't killing themselves over bits of data, you can finally start thinking about digital currency.
6. Please do not ever use Coinbase, Kraken, Circle, or any future incarnation of a digital bank or publicly traded entity to trade coins, cash, or digital currency! That's a bank and we are unbanking to escape financial enslavement, so please please please do not forget that Liberty is why we are doing this in the first place.
7. Thanks for zeroing the balance on you credit card every bill, never allowing pornography nor prostitution into your life, and for loving your neighbor enough to not pump and dump ponzi or multi-level market schemes.

And that's about it!

Once we have this really cool network of productive people in a thriving economy trading cash and coins from their homes for digital currency (hopefully soon) then we can start playing with ideas like blockchain stock market, copyright, and land registry. Oh we also get the added benefit of seeing people face-to-face and forming meaningful connections with like-minded shapers of the free world instead of isolating ourselves to be dominated by our machines while waiting for our turn to go to "The Island."

Hard to pay your bills without using a bank. Even when you pay everything off that you own you still have to pay gas electric insurance etc. maybe if you live in the wilderness you could do it but not if you live in the real world. Even your internet access, how are you going pay for that with coins.

I like what OP is saying I hate the banking system it enslaves us, but it would be hard to pay bills with cash.

As far as buy and hold, I'd rather not. Things can happen while you sleep that leave you with massive losses. Remember the election...

Re: How to: Unbank Yourself (Bitcoin is not enough!)
My son in law had a bitcoin "wallet" stolen, so I probably wouldn't get into cryptos. I wouldn't know how to protect it.

I think unbanking is a pretty good idea, but not sure how to go about it. I need to do more research.

One thing I used to do a few decades ago was get my paycheck every month in cash. The tellers knew me and it was never a weird thing to get it because I did it every month. Then I ran around town and paid all the bills.

Then I put the rest of the money in envelopes dedicated for whatever it was for. Now I do so much banking automatically. Water bill gets paid, electric gets paid and other things and I don't touch the account, they just draft out what it costs. Go to the store and put in the debit card.

I used to do everything in cash and now almost nothing. Yes, I'll have to research how to go back to the way I used to operate.

Here's something extremely important OP failed to mention:

Every alphabet agency on Earth is so far up cryptocurrencies ass its about as stable as Joe Biden.

If you think for a second crypto can't be manipulated and corrupted you're a goner.

It's a fucking scam that can be pump and dumped faster than Wall Street let alone your traditional financial institution.

DON'T BOTHER WITH CRYPTO OR ANY DIGITAL CURRENCY BS! ITS FUCKING USELESS IN THE LONG RUN! AND CERTAINTY NOT A SAFETY NET OF ANY KIND!

If you do want to invest, gold and silver. Stick to tangible investments that have, and will continue, to be stable even when TSHTF.

Just to be clear, I have been a crypto miner since 2012. Have banked closed to 752K over multiple accounts. Seen it rise and fall with insidious margins. One day up 10% the next week down 20%.

Crypto is a fucking garbage investment that has alphabet agency fingerprints all over it.

STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM CRYPTO AS YOU CAN!!!

you might think that if you are paying off your credit card and not paying interest that they are not gaining anything from you.

However, those card transactions generate more than 2% profit for the banks, which is charged to the merchant and in turn passed on to you.

Ask for a discount for paying cash and use cash instead

Re: How to: Unbank Yourself (Bitcoin is not enough!)
Yet another idiot that doesn’t understand what Fiat money actually means. The currency itself is now worthless and not backed by anything.

Dumping all your money into cash is the exact anti pattern to what people with cash are actually doing. Anyone with actual large amounts of cash laying around are desperate to move it into something else that isn’t losing value hand over fist like the mighty dollar is. For most (including me) that is Bitcoin. I actually run a full bitcoin core node myself.

Real estate will eventually lose all your value also, due to constant property taxes eating away at the value of it. Invested 100k into property? Well, given long enough, the property taxes will cost you 100k and more until you are negative on that investment as well.


Cash is the dumbest thing possible to keep your money in right now.

The metal the coins are made with today is not precious at all. That stopped long ago when we went to a fiat system.

The OP is delusional.

There's a lot more you should do here. When it comes to things like this never do 100% of anything. Issues I have with this advice:

1) Don't close your checking account. Might need it for something. Try to limit use.

2) Coins at certain $ amounts are difficult to store, carry etc so you can't go all in there either.

3) Prepaid Debit Cards are useful.


Overall the framework is right here but the key is a blended approach, have coins, cash, stocks, precious metals, crypto, debit card etc as needed. If you rely on any 1 thing you've got a very dangerous weak point. If you have 10k in all of these things you're in a very safe spot.

as for the coins, have some foresight and don't pay for a gym membership or a weight set (;

Hello again!

I would like to begin an anti-bank experiment with the GLP community. If you are interested, collect wheat pennies and one ounce copper coins.

10 wheat pennies to 1 copper oz
50 zinc pennies to 1 wheat penny

There is a digital currency component to this experiment that is not currently worth mentioning, lest we get ahead of ourselves and disrespect time by dishonoring our history.

Once you have 1000 zinc pennies, post a comment here.

As far as buy and hold, I'd rather not. Things can happen while you sleep that leave you with massive losses. Remember the election...

Re: How to: Unbank Yourself (Bitcoin is not enough!)
Many on this site have demonstrated interest in blockchain technology and the use case of cryptocurrency. There's even a meme about it:
:bitcoin:

Anyway, so we are at disaster levels of incompetence in the financial sector. The cryptocurrency craze is in full swing and everybody is leering at everybody else whenever the ticker is red and patting themselves on the back on green days.

Face it, you have no idea what you're doing and you're ready to fight about it. Let's get one thing straight: I didn't do this to you and I am here to help, same as always.

Listen up! If you got into cryptocurrency before you picked up pennies and nickels then you started out in error. Go back and collect some coins because the US mint is and has always been more important than the banks. Somehow we got that backwards with Bitcoin and Ethereum over the last decade and the bankers we wanted to escape are now the ones wringing us out, or worse: those in charge now are more terrible than before.

**This post may seem naive or irrelevant to those who do not have enough saved to follow these steps. If that is the case, please get out of all your investments, especially digital currency, and seriously consider a stay for some time at a behavioral health clinic.**

How To: Unbank Yourself
1. Go close your checking account.
2. Get 1 month of expenses in coins.
3. A savings of 3-6 months cash, too.
4. Trade your coins and cash.
5. Now that you have all your friends with cash and coins at home together and everybody is getting along and we're dancing on the graves of the banks while the mint is in full swing with new branches all over the country punching out shiny new eagles in our healthy economy where people aren't killing themselves over bits of data, you can finally start thinking about digital currency.
6. Please do not ever use Coinbase, Kraken, Circle, or any future incarnation of a digital bank or publicly traded entity to trade coins, cash, or digital currency! That's a bank and we are unbanking to escape financial enslavement, so please please please do not forget that Liberty is why we are doing this in the first place.
7. Thanks for zeroing the balance on you credit card every bill, never allowing pornography nor prostitution into your life, and for loving your neighbor enough to not pump and dump ponzi or multi-level market schemes.

And that's about it!

Once we have this really cool network of productive people in a thriving economy trading cash and coins from their homes for digital currency (hopefully soon) then we can start playing with ideas like blockchain stock market, copyright, and land registry. Oh we also get the added benefit of seeing people face-to-face and forming meaningful connections with like-minded shapers of the free world instead of isolating ourselves to be dominated by our machines while waiting for our turn to go to "The Island."

Closing Remarks:
Phones and computers are necessary for digital currency yet are made from the same material as coins. Therefore:
NOT BEFORE YOU HOLD COPPER COINS SHALL YOU EVER HODL DIGITAL COINS!

Why did you add the part about prostitution and porn ? That has nothing to do with the subject at hand...trying to be the morals police ? What people do in their personal lives are not your or anyone else's business.
