What if we start leaving one SILVER DOLLAR as a tip for a $80 meal?

Gold is the currency of kings, silver is the currency of gentlemen, barter is the currency of peasants, but #debt is the currency of slaves.

Silver Dollars, even the junk ones, trade at the highest premiums of all solver money.

Pre 65 Silver Quarters, dimes, and halfs is where its at. Good luck getting them at 20x face now, but its possible.

I would go to work as a waitress.

Reality...

Most servers would have no clue and think you were a cheap bastard that tipped one dollar.

Then theyd spend that dollar at face value.

I lost some of those to a boating accident, but my beef with those is they are even harder for people to know about than silver eagles.

Silver eagles are minted by the US government so completely legal.

The US government has debased and ruined the "face value" of quarters, dimes, etc. so they aren't easily identified unless people really study it.

Silver Eagles have much better "trust".

And that's why there is a premium on the value.

Maybe but probably would only happen once if they were curious and looked up the value online or told their friends about it.

A lot of these waitstaff are making $16-19 a hour, I say NO tip.

Nope

Up to $34 yesterday for silver eagles

Delivered is $42

Yeah.

Hard to believe just 10-15 years ago they were $7.

sorry, I can't resist commenting.
Lunch for $80? is it like almost 8000 rubles?
in Russia, for this money, you can buy 16 excellent lunches in a cafe, or 8 chic dinners.
what's interesting is included in the $80 lunch in the USA?

As long as the face value is less than the content they will not circulate as money.

You would have to increase the face value to a point that is higher than the content in order for a coin to circulate.

The reason silver coins circulated in the past was that you could obtain an ounce of silver for less than 1 US Dollar.

As soon as miners demand to be paid more it is game over.

They have increased the mark up for coinage the price of silver is only $25.53 currently.

i got to keep mine minus a percentage for bus staff

Mandatory tipping is the most retarded shit ever. When was the last time the waiter actually did something to earn it?

Plus if you gave a waiter an oz of silver they'd bitch about you all week and the next time you come in they would spit in your food and still expect a $30 tip.

More like a $30- $40 tip
But if it makes you happy….

You know, it's funny, back in the mid nineties I used to work on cruise ships as waiter and I did get a silver dollar as tip.
I still have it.

Unless the waitress is an idiot she'll
take it right out of circulation.

The dopey waitresses would be like "F-you cheap ass!" and take a picture of you and the tip and post it all over her social media.

She'll demand empathy and compassion from her fake followers only to find out that the silver dollar is worth close to $30.

She'll then call silver coins racist and misogynist in an effort to save face.

I'm a waiter at a steakhouse. If someone gave me a Morgan dollar on an $80.00 tab, I'd be quite happy. Most acceptable! I'd then add it to my pile.

I love silver and gold!

Start a business and only pay employees pre65 silver American coinage.
5 bucks in silver coins may be 150$. But Uncle Sam only gets to tax 5.

Yep, same trick can be used for buying stuff with gold (like a house).

I'll give you $800 in gold (16x$50 american eagle) eagles for your $320k house.

What’s an $80 meal now a days? Egg-a-muffin and coffee?

Half-ounce Silver Bullion coins do exist:

There's not enough silver.
