Welcome
Why Buy Precious Metals?
This much is clear: you need to protect yourself. Not just from inflation, but from a possible meltdown of the U.S. Dollar (more accurately known as Federal Reserve Notes). The dollar has lost more than 95% of its value since the Federal Reserve was established in 1913. It is critical to you, your family, and your community that you protect your purchasing power from the continually devaluing dollar.
Get the Physical Metal in Your Possession
Don’t just buy a paper promise to precious metals, buy the real thing and have it delivered to you. Defaults will continue to occur on various forms of debt and IOUs, so don’t allow yourself to become another victim. Get the metals delivered to you.
Why Choose Silver?
Silver is the most tradable of the precious metals, because common minted sizes of coins and rounds have a value in the range of most common transactions.
Why Choose Voluntary Silver Barter Currencies?
You could choose to buy silver bullion coins, rounds, etc., and this can often be the most inexpensive way to own silver. However, after purchasing precious metals, people tend to sock them away into storage, where they just sit. Ask yourself:
- How will you use bullion to get what you need, when you need it?
- Are you prepared to haggle over every transaction to purchase the basic supplies for everyday use?
- Is simply storing away precious metals benefiting your community and local economy? Is it benefiting you to the extent possible?
- Is there a better way? YES!
Advantages of AOCS Silver Barter Over Bullion
Private voluntary silver barter currencies that are part of the American Open Currency Standard (AOCS) offer the following advantages over bullion:
- Conform to a common widely recognized standard, thus facilitating recognized value in the marketplace
- Provide access to a large and growing network of merchants locally and nationally
- Offer better value than bullion, because they offer an incentive to spend them into circulation, thus increasing your buying power and your security
- Promote expanded public ownership and transactional use of silver
- Enhance and protect your local economy

“Money, when considered as the fruit of many years’ industry, as the reward of labor, sweat and toil, as the widow’s dowry and children’s portion, and as the means of procuring the necessaries and alleviating the afflictions of life, and making old age a scene of rest, has something in it sacred that is not to be sported with, or trusted to the airy bubble of paper currency.” –Thomas Paine
