Coin collectors are prone to political opinions. U.S. coinage and paper money is issued by the government, the numismatic and bullion markets are affected by government economic policies, and our collectibles are first and foremost MONEY which is regulated by the Federal Reserve System. Every numismatic collectible issued by our government is related to an Act of Congress and overseen by the Treasury Department.
I respectfully request our "host", "the venue", and other discussion board users allow this discussion to exist. Its purpose is to serve as a repository for political opinion, thereby keeping political interruptions to a minimum on the other discussions related to coins, paper money, and the bullion markets, on this board. In this way, users who are not interested in political commentary can use the board without being subjected to it. Prior to establishment of a Political Thread, many quality on-topic discussions were ruined by endless political bickering.
Users of all political persuasions are welcome, users who do not wish to participate can easily avoid it. It is far better for ALL involved to keep it in one place. To that end, please do not post off-topic dissertations about the Federal Reserve and their connection to the Illuminati & the Bilderberg Group, endless arguments about Ron Paul and gold-backed currency, or rants about what government debt and the next election mean to bullion prices, to the other discussions on the board.
If you are unfamiliar with them, please review the eBay Discussion Boards Policies prior to posting.
