Visited a metals dealer and had some great conversations about the future of money - which metals have the most interesting aspects about it. I mentioned copper, but obviously right now it doesn't have much attention.
This dealer was all about the GOLD. I can understand why. Gold is always in demand. And being very expensive, it's also very popular to sell right now. While I was there, at least two people came in selling their gold jewelry.
But copper. I saw some very nice copper rounds for sale, very cheap. Even though it's only about $0.30 of actual copper (and I paid $2), we don't know what the future may hold.
Once copper exceeds $32/lb, this coin will contain $2 of copper.
Copper just spiked to almost $6.00 / lb before crashing down to under $5. Just goes to show how quickly values can change quickly.
Eyes on. When copper does it's thing, it might be the dark horse nobody was paying attention to. We are so used to calculating copper by the lb, it's going to be shocking the numbers we might see.
There's a reason copper pennies are disappearing from circulation, just like the silver did after 1965.
Eyes on.
