Heres my wishful plan (fits with what I think BJ wants too), someone needs to design/distribute a package that comes with everything you need to make your own silver bullion coins. Cheap. There should be two types. Set One is for turning sheet metal into coins, Set Two for turning old silver scrap (or coins) into the coins, and a third set for participating businesses if they want it.
Included in Set One is small versions of the following:
Blanking press.
Annealing furnace.
Upsetting Mill.
Coin press that stamps "1troy ounce bullion" or other denomination.
A simple coin sizer/frame.
I havent given much thought into what the second Set needs but I'm thinking Set Two may need to include some sort of melting furnace, mold, and way of separating silver from other metals.
Much like pirate radio, weed growers, and other black market agoristic activities there would be too many people working to produce the same products that the sale would be nearly impossible to stamp out.
Set three is just a Silver Purity Analyzer.
Thoughts?
