How often do you find Canadian coins in circulation?

Obviously, this question is not directed at fellow residents of Canada. I have an idea in mind, just trying to get some info on how often other countries are able to find coins of decent grades in their circulated money?

Experts and Beginners

I'd like to share a story regarding internet "expertise" in the context of how it might possibly apply to coin beginners vs. coin experts.

As the story goes, this collector has another hobby, and that hobby is quite a bit more technical than coin collecting (save perhaps counterfeit detection).

Eager to learn more about his new interest, he chanced across a site filled to the brim with experts who could help him. The "seed" of this problem started here when hapless collector could not tell who was an expert—and who was not.

Having learned a little knowledge and with some related diagnostic gear, he posts a few well-done analyses (he assumes) with questions. Despite his reasonable statements, a few "experts" remind him of a past mistake and seemingly dismiss those conclusions.

It must have been sheer folly, because the beginner then defended his conclusions based on clear, documented evidence collected by him. He also questioned why a past mistake should possibly apply here, and unwittingly questioned the conclusion of the "expert".

What followed was like a kick to a raging bee hive, followed by "stings" of innuendo, verbal abuse, and browbeating--public and private. Alas, this poor guy didn't see it coming! This sheep was properly shorn.

Btw, that hypothetical person was me. And perhaps I deserved some of it.
Now I'm not looking for sympathy here; I wrote this to make a point, because I know this place is a healthy community of rational people—beginners and experts alike. It bears saying.

I offer this in defense and empathy of beginners everywhere.

If you're an expert, newbies won't immediately know that and fail to give you the credit for your time and expertise. Consequently, respect of your position and expertise takes time outside those who know you. I'm sure as an expert, you know the importance of good leadership towards earning respect and consequently gaining influence. Without respect, there is little influence, is there?

Sometimes newbie collectors are very excited about their new hobby
It's important not to mistake their energy and resultant errors as something malicious towards you.

That's about it—did I miss anything? If I'm the butt all those people think I am, tell me please.]]>

10 Reasons To Buy Gold NOW!

If you look at history, you will see that Gold always preserves its value even when there is a economic depression and the national currency, in this case the dollar, loses its value. Allocating a portion of your investments to Gold is almost like an insurance policy as it protects you from inflation. The price of Gold will continue to climb as the dollar continues to lose its value. Here are 10 reasons you should consider buying Gold NOW.
Reason #1 - As I have already stated, the dollar is weak and it will only get weaker as time goes on.
Reason #2 - The appreciation of Gold prices will make up for any lost interest you incur.
Reason #3 - Central banks all over the world are increasing their Gold holdings. I wonder why?
Reason #4 - All Gold funds are in a uptrend. Especially with bullion. This trend is not expected to slow down anytime soon.
Reason #5 - The last few years have been very similar to the 70's when Gold went up from $38 to well over $800.
Reason #6 - Currently, the consumption of Gold is not matching the production of it. This of course is a supply and demand issue. As demand goes up, so will the price.
Reason # 7 - The U.S. Government and its outlandish economic policies are causing uncontrollable federal spending and an uncontrollable trade deficit. This causes the dollar to be weak on an international level which means the price of alternative investments such as Gold, will increase.
Reason #8 - Currently there is over one trillion dollars worth of U.S. debt owned by foreign interests. This debt could be repatriated at any time. Because of this there could be a major decline in the dollar and gold prices will soar.
Reason #9 - Part of your earning power in the stock market is to buy low and sell high. Gold is still at a pretty low price. However, it is climbing fast so it is best to get in NOW.
Reason #10 - The U.S. Dollar is no longer the international safe haven. This is due to several financial factors. The main one being a failing dollar. You must now invest in something that crosses all international boundaries and that is Gold.
There are many more reasons why you should consider investing in Gold NOW. At the end of the day, its all about protecting what you already have against inflation which is pretty much inevitable in the coming times.

Best Paying Gold Buyers - Get Top Dollar For Gold!

It's never been more important to find the cash for gold buyer who will pay you the most for your unwanted or broken gold jewelry. That's because the price of gold today is higher than it's been in decades and you deserve to get top dollar in these tough economic times.
Which Buyers Pay the Most?
A lot of new sellers are asking this question. That's because there has been a literal flood of new companies both on the Internet and advertising on TV. Most of them say the same things. How do you find out who is really ethical, honest and reliable? You'll have to do your homework or check with a gold buyer review site to find out.
Many of today's buyers will only pay you a small percentage of what your property is actually worth. There are also quite a few scammers in this business that will make off with your gold jewelry and never send you a dime. Nevertheless, you'll get the most cash from reliable Internet buyers that do a big volume of business. And, it's easier to locate the best buyers than you may think.
Which Buyers are the Best?
You want to locate an established Internet gold buyer who has a good reputation for high payouts and ethical business practices. If you're going to check out a few yourself, start by entering the company's name in your web browser followed by-'Complaints'. If you're met with a laundry-list of unhappy sellers, move on. You can also check with the BBB-Better Business Bureau to see what unresolved problems they have listed for any buyers you are considering.
The best idea is to check out a reliable gold buyer review site. These folks have done all the checking for you and usually list from 3-5 gold buyers who will give you a good price. They will then make their own recommendation as to whom they rate as the best of the group. Then, it's up to you to choose one that you like. You can also get a rough idea of what the gold jewelry you want to sell will be worth from many buyers by telling them the Karat marks on your jewelry (e.g. 10K, 14K, 18K, 24K) because this determines just how much pure gold each piece so marked actually contains. The higher the K, the higher the percentage of gold and the more money you can expect. The actual market price for gold, however, is a figure that is constantly changing depending upon supply and demand. Right now, it is over $1,100/ounce and it hasn't been this high in decades.
Visit the Top 5 Gold Site Reviews and avoid being a victim of any cash for gold scams. Need to know where to sell gold for 3x's more Cash? Read a full Gold Consumer Report and watch a special TV news video by visiting http://www.top5bestgoldsites.com.
