Doug Casey shares some recent experiences on border crossings while carrying gold & silver coins . “What really got my attention was a few weeks later when I was leaving Mauritania, one of the world’s more backward countries. Here, I was also questioned about the silver coins. A supervisor was again called over and asked me whether I had any gold coins. Clearly, something was up .. I haven’t seen any official statements about the movement of gold coins, but it seems probable that governments are spreading word to their minions.” .. Casey suggests this is part of the war on cash .. Casey says it is all about capital controls & financial repression ..  “So what’s next? I expect, as the subtle war on both cash and the transfer of capital across borders gains momentum, that gold coins are going to become the next focus of attention.”
