James, another idea that goes along with this, is that becasue of gov't
controls you can not carry more than $10,000 US across borders. Howver there
are goldbugs who get around this becuase they use American Eagles or
buffalos, which are denominated into USD at a much lower rate than actual
gold value. It has been a topic of converstaion of goldbug boards for years.
It is surprising how many people on these type boards crisscross different
national borders on a regular basis................
