I want to give away 5 silver Canadian quarters.

If you want a free silver quarter just post here saying why silver is important to you in the future. In a week I will choose 5 people and send them their quarter.

I am doing this because I want to promote silver awareness and start people off on their stacks.

Back in the day (thinking 1960s and 1970s) 4 silver 90% Halves bought a tank of gas. Today, 4 silver 90% Halves buys a tank of gas. Additionally, unlike gold, silver is used in industry for electrical conductivity. Hence silver demand not only comes from consumers, but also business that require the metal for their own products and services. Silver is also antimicrobial, which is the reason it was and still is used for flatware, cups, and dinnerware.

I collect Morgan Dollars, and own many many other US silver coins, as well as international silver coinage. My kids love it and it has been a tool to teach them about money, as well as the intrinsic value of real coinage that still has value.

Whomever gets one of those silver quarters should appreciate the real value of what they have in their possession. Watch the science channel learn how the silver that they hold in their hand was one of many byproducts or a star going supernova.

For those who do not have silver, check it out. Don't buy into the Monex and commodity hype, as it is important to understand why silver can and always will be a precious commodity.
