What is a "Dollar"? The US "Coinage Act of 1792" defined a Dollar as:
"DOLLARS OR UNITS - each to be of the value of a Spanish milled dollar
as the same is now current, and to contain three hundred and seventy-one
grains and four sixteenth parts of a grain of pure, or four hundred and
sixteen grains of standard silver.". Don't be fooled by valueless paper
"notes" (debt instruments) masquerading as "Dollars". A Dollar is and
always has been only "silver", and more specifically 371.25 grains of
..999 pure silver.

Good for Geiseler!. He lived every entrepreneur's dream, and now gets to
retire to enjoy the rest of his life.
