In a previous episode, you gave me silver coins and talked to me about how it has two different

types of value.

You just briefly recap that.

Sure.

It has value because it's made of metal and the metal is valuable.

In this case, silver, because you have to get it out of the ground.

Silver has certain properties and is useful for things that other materials aren't.

So it has a material, rarity, human effort value, and then it also has a collector value

because of what the coin is when it was struck, what's on it, how rare the coin is, how

much collectors want it.

So both of those things add up to value.

So to be clear, I'm not into this.

Yeah, currently.

Currently.

I'm not into this.

But in the interest of learning about different things, I think it's interesting just as a thing.

But the idea that you can go by essentially, you're buying a metal and you're waiting for

time to do work for you kind of or you're just storing value.

It's a way of storing value.

It's like an original, the original way that people store value.

Is that a way to say it?

Yeah, it's money insurance.
