Usually they just send quarters, not actual silver, at least from the ones I've seen when they post what they actually mailed.
This guy also claims to have paid his friend 20K in silver for a house.
20k face value maybe on rounds worth $40 each
this isn't as insane as it sounds. bullion coins are legal tender with a lower face value than their commodity value.
so if that's 20k face value it's about average value for a house and they probably used the legal tender number for tax purposes.
But when it comes to paying 3rd parties like in the OP you're better off just selling the silver and using the common currency ... so no $2 bills
2 dollar bills are a real USD currency note. I think you meant 3 dollar bills
nope, people have been arrested or killed for trying to use 2 dollar bills before. it's just best not to take that risk.
The picture seems to show actual silver coins with their various bond notes.
Is that why they have a single quarter taped to their bills- it's magic silver? Gosh.
