JWR, I would like some information on saving coins. I have been going through my coins and want some clarity on what to save. I have saved all pennies, nickels, quarters, dimes, and so forth from the years 1940 to 1999. Those from 2000 to present have been taken to the bank. Is this correct or should I be saving nickels and quarters from 2000 to present also? It is amazing how much change a person can accumulate and the amount of older money that is in the system right now. – D.D. JWR responds: There is no significance to …

Just as we will need people with blue-collar skills, like farmers, carpenters, mechanics, welders, and so forth, society will also need entrepreneurs who have the inventory and negotiating skills required to open stores and to restart local economies in the event of an economic collapse. In such times, it will be mutually beneficial for a farmer to let the local trading post sell his produce as a middle man while he is working the farm rather than spending precious hours each day trying to sell that produce himself. Most preparedness articles talk about the importance of having extra items on …

Gold had a wild ride to start the year, with plenty of economic and political turmoil to power the roller coaster price action. We saw prices move from $1,170 to $1,305, as turmoil rocked Europe, only to crash back to near $1,250 after a Federal Reserve policy meeting that the market makers deemed hawkish. Even so, gold had its …
