Zeev: The TV coverage has them donating it, I don't find that hard to accept South Koreans have a lot of National pride, and dedication to their country. But distroying the artifacts, to melt it down is like sinful. Yet this was the offical statment, true they need money now..and would not get fair value , but at the least they should mint a special coin in honor of thoes who made the donations, and surely that would at least bring a premium over the raw price of gold. I'm upset to think that their gov would give into pressures by the same people who caused the problems and just dump the gold in their hands. If they can't find some large Jewalers to take it on, heck I think Walmart and Sams could handle the whole lot, but if not A special coin would be nice, and help them out far better than just melting and dumping it.

im from militigan and that may scue my views but does any one else see the parallels between what the central bankers are encouraging in s.k. and how"they"forced America into fractal reserve and finally into a fully fiat system over the last 70 years? primarilaly the process of gathering priviate gold reserves and issuing worthless(intrensicly)debt instruments in their stead?
