My dad told me to go listen to this on YouTube...
He said when he was a little babychild, his mom used to tune in the radio every day and listen to Paul Harvey's show.
He was driving home the point that nothing has changed since those days, it's exactly how Paul Harvey said it would be...
And that the US was fully sold out in 1964...
"In March 1964, Secretary of the Treasury C. Douglas Dillon halted redemption of silver certificates for silver dollars. In the 1970s, large numbers of the remaining silver dollars in the mint vaults were sold to the collecting public for collector value. All redemption in silver ceased on June 24, 1968."
