There's something ironic about owning a gold mine these days, isn't there?  You sell the mine, you get paid in dollars - and then what?  Buy more gold?  You pretty much have to with the state of today's fiat currencies, unless you plow your winnings into another mining venture, but where would you put them, when you already own the best?

I guess in the old days you just trundled down to the mint and had your gold turned into money, ie. certified gold coins.  Legal tender.

Are we going back to that?   If so, maybe we shouldn't sell?  Maybe we should just keep pulling money out of the ground?  I don't have a problem if they pay me my dividends in gold coins.  Why would I want bits of paper, after what the central banks have done to them?

 We live in very strange times here.   It's only just starting to sink in how strange they really are.
