Creation of money is no longer the sole right of the central banks. Total global debt exceeds total global GDP, and that debt is increasing exponentially on a daily basis. The reason is Fractional Reserve Banking, which allows private banks to create money pretty much out of thin air. Most Sovereign debt, including that of Greece, exists on paper only.

Reading Michael Freeman's eloquent message I realised that when he first published, he was around 22 years old. All that knowledge in one so young. Bloody amazing.

What ChKy says is true. This debt started out within the banking industry. It is commercial debt that has been foisted onto the public sector. Somehow the Greeks seem to be responsible for debts incurred by foreign banks, UK, German and Spanish mostly. Then there is the small matter of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems bribing a Greek defense minister into ordering 4 nuclear submarines, which were neither needed or delivered. Did the Greeks get their 7 billion Eur back? Have a guess. There has been a concerted attack on the Greek nation with the intent of bankrupting it. Cui bono? Well, if some of the state's assets had to be privatised, this might give a clue: http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-new-mediterranean-oil-and-gas-bonanza/29609

Goldman Sachs vice chairman and managing director at the time was one Mario Draghi, currently President of the European Central Bank. It is the duty of the ECB to ensure the the stability of EZ state's banks. Greece is a full member of the EZ, and the ECB has acted illegally in its handling of this affair.

I follow this seller as he's within walking distance of me, although we've never met. His descriptions are usually very accurate and he always seems to get top dollar for his items.

Don't forget, he has your address too. My instinct would be not to send it.

If the shipping terms had been C.I.F. (Cost, Insurance & Freight) you would have paid duty on the insurance too.

Indian Princely State of Kutch . Probably one Dokdo 1884

Goldbergs occupies a special place in my heart as despite knowing cock all about exonumia, they insist on trying to sell it. I wish I'd kept a log of their better descriptions, still they've let me buy some blinding stuff in the past. Kept me in decent port anyway.

Average ebay is: Cased £22 German, £17 Brit Uncased £18 German, £15 Brit I only posted it because I liked the incongruity of a ship sinking in good condition

I'd love to know if this seller is being ironic with his choice of strap-line: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1915-THE-SINKING-OF-THE-LUSITANIA-IN-GOOD-CONDITION-/151602450256?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item234c35cf50

OK, so it shouldn't fool anyone on this forum but the weasel words on this really stick in my throat. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/One-Oz-Silver-Bullion-Silver-Bar-German-Silver-Buffalo-Amerikan-New-Top-/311307594683?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item487b60ebbb

And it has the marvelous invisible Victorian enamel. It is also quite touching that, now they are married; they are considering moving into a house together.

I haven't got Peck to hand, but it looks like reverse B. Maybe slightly overpriced.

Debbie, one for you I think: http://lovetokensociety.com/pictorial-2/

I know that most folk on here have no interest in medals & tokens but even so, you should appreciate the huge cojones of this seller. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-British-Coin-/291428329597? As a rule, I sell one of these a fortnight. At around a fiver.

He's still about, in a tokens group on FB.

Doesn't it have a bit too much legible detail for you Scott?

John I have seen some of your coins on another forum. You have some beautiful sovereigns, and this is the very best forum to show them. Do you still have that George IV 1827? One of my favourites.

I have just finished my first kofte kebab of the year in your honour. (And possibly more beer than is wise) Happy Birthday Peter.
