Not all old, tarnished and worn silver coins are melt-worthy junk, even if they’re commonly called junk silver. Sometimes circulated legal tender coins are treasured keepsakes with memories that last a lifetime.
I own one of those coins.

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2025-10-08 14:25 Section: Daily Dispatches2:37p ET Wednesday, October 8, 2025
Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:
For a few weeks now mainstream financial news organizations and commentators have been casting around for explanations for the extraordinary rise in gold prices and, to a lesser extent, silver prices this year. The consensus is that it is all a matter of geopolitical tensions, excessive government debt and money creation, the disruption and chaos of a second Trump administration, and central bank purchases.

Falling Fed custody holdings ring de-dollarization alarm

The amount of U.S. Treasuries held at the New York Fed on behalf of global central banks has slumped to its lowest in over a decade, casting renewed doubt on foreign appetite for U.S. sovereign debt and other dollar-denominated assets.
This may seem a little surprising. Recent data, including the Treasury International Capital and International Monetary Fund's "Cofer" foreign exchange reserves reports, show overseas demand for Treasuries and dollar assets holding up pretty well.

The annual report of the vehicle used by the United Kingdom government to hold most of its foreign exchange and gold reserves, the Exchange Equalisation Account (EEA), is unusually late.
Normally the UK Treasury publishes an audited annual report of the EEA in the July following its reporting year end of March 31. So far no annual report for the EEA covering the year to March 31, 2025, has been published, more than six months since the year end.

NAIROBI -- Kenya has completed converting three railway construction dollar-denominated loans from China into yuan in order to save on interest payments, its Finance Minister John Mbadi said today.
The swap, which allows the floating, dollar-based interest rates across the three loans from China Exim Bank to drop into their lower, yuan-based rates, will save the country about $215 million a year, Mbadi told reporters.

I read the New York Times -- but only so that you don't have to. Often as not, it's painful to peruse the raw sophistry and unreflective bias in many of the news articles, let alone the poison-pen editorial page, but still I power through.
Fortunately, though, the world offers many other news sources which help me figure out what’s happening across the globe.

Nobody in their right mind would hold their reserves in dollars.
That's the conclusion of Catalyst Funds CIO David Miller. And he's right.
Gold is up over 87% since January 2024 and is knocking on the door of $4,000 an ounce. But even with the rapid price surge, Miller said gold is not overpriced.
