CURRENCY
Possessing a means of exchange
Reptiliandude argues that privately modifying and micro-etching metal coins could create collectible value and provide an alternative means of exchange independent of central banks and government-controlled currencies. He presents precious metals as more reliable forms of money than paper currency, warning that banking institutions and governments can restrict ownership, manipulate monetary value, and eventually make cashless transactions or implanted payment chips increasingly compulsory. He draws on historical examples, including restrictions on gold ownership and criticism of bank-issued currency, to argue that independent forms of money help protect personal freedom and financial self-preservation. Other participants discuss alternative coins, the Federal Reserve, historical political violence, and the possibility of using novelty or collectible coins as currency. The discussion concludes with concern that banking privileges are already being restricted, reinforcing RD’s warning about the growing influence of centralised financial systems over individuals.

Reptiliandude: It should be noted here that micro etching words or artwork on metal coinage is a way of maintaining value via collectability (decreasing circulation) and exclusivity.
Those averse to bitcoin and currencies like them could have hidden labs independently etching coinage thusly and trade it among themselves, raising said coinage value.
Such coinage could impart a greater value upon the tin coins currently issued.
Especially where actual coins or bullion made of silver and gold are unavailable or illegal for the citizenry to own.
Happened before and in the US…

Or when society is forced to go full cashless after a plague infests the currency currently being used.
(Silver used to kill contagions)
Bear in mind that the laws regarding the defacing of paper money were put there there to inhibit the ability of people without printing presses to write partisan statements upon it or for merchants to pass them around as cheap advertising.
The cheap advertising should be self-explanatory.
As for those early partisan statements, they originally had to do with sincere declarations that the paper money issued by banks would soon abscond with the precious metals backing them and that they would, in time, make such ‘notes’ unredeemable in the very silver and gold they originally represented.
President Andrew Jackson was one of those who also made clear this was the eventual intent of these institutions.
Not that such information really matters much to today’s modern society of debtors blinded by both narcissism and consumption.
A society that has already begun the process of chipping themselves to make purchases more ‘convenient.’

Possessing a means of exchange independent of secular authority is extremely important to a people interested in self-preservation in the face of the changes taking place in the world today.
Real money has value independent of that possessing face of the dead emperor, pontiff or president of the national bank issuing it.
That is why nations frown upon citizens making their own to trade among themselves.
Real money empowers individuals.
As for what’s coming on the horizon… Well, who cares if your banking becomes a part if you if you haven’t done anything ‘wrong,’ right?
It’s not like you’d stop existing or anything.
And everyone knows you can always trust your government, right?
Nice etching, by the way.

reptiliandude: Indeed. And were you to do this, laws regarding the defacing of currency would be rigorously enforced. Companies making magician’s trick quarters are ignored because they are not adding or subtracting value from the coin as ‘currency.’ The moment that people take the modification of ‘currency’ into their own hands, you are taking action against the centralized banking system which controls money supply and influences its value through interest rate, scarcity and spread via national policies. Be careful.

lelekfalo: I thought they didn’t even have copper in them anymore.
PrinceWizdom: What about something like this?
lelekfalo: Last time we tried to rein in the Federal Reserve, EO 11110 resulted in a bullet being put through a man’s head in Dallas.
Edit: And, to your point, this got Jackson shot, too.

The narrowing of banking privileges has begun.
