I just couldn't resist commenting...lol... For one, the Spending Power of a Worthless U.S. Clad Dime will be equal to 10 of today's Fiat USD's... What you're going to like a lot, is turning in Two of your 90% Silver Dimes for a 1/5 ounce $2 Silver Coin, that will have the Spending Power of 200 of today's Fiat USD's... You need to start looking at your 90% Silver Dimes as if they "will have" the Spending Power of a One Hundred Dollar "Bill"...

It's an amazing thought exercise, imagining coinage having such spending power. Silver coinage especially. With that value dependency, I would imagine a lot of forgeries... turning a tiny clad dime worth $10 into a "silver" dime worth $100. !BBH
The 90% Silver Coins can be held as "Collector Coinage" or they can be Exchanged for the New Silver Coins... I have good reason to believe our 90% Silver Coins will be offered "Special Deals" from the U.S. Treasury... Our New Silver and Gold Coins will have a Special Blend of Metals to make it impossible to make forgeries... Remember that the Fiat USD's will Vanish, and people won't be thinking about a Clad Dime having so much Fiat Spending Power... Who thinks of a Ten Dollar "Bill" as having a huge amount of Spending Power...??? Besides, trying to turn our Tiny Clad Dimes into $1 Silver "Collector" Coins wouldn't be all that easy to do... I just don't see that happening... Our Smallest "Circulating" Silver Coins will be the 1/5 ounce $2 Silver Coins... It will take 20 Clad Dimes to obtain a 1/5 ounce $2 Silver coin... I sure hope you have a lot of Clad Dimes standing by... And even if I was wrong about everything else, our Clad Coinage will still have Legal Tender Status, long after the Fiat USD's vanish from Circulation... Most people won't be using our Silver and Gold Coins for everyday Pocket Change... They will be using less than a Few Dollars in Clad Coinage, Paper Coinage, or our new Crypto Coinage... Gasoline will be "less" than 4 Cents per Gallon... By the way... Since Copper will cost less than 5 Cents per pound, we'll probably return to Copper Pennies... I never did like the Copper Coated Zinc Pennies... That's probably when everyone will be trying to obtain Copper Coated Zinc Pennies...lol...
