Off Topic: Hi there..... To answer your questions :

- most popular form of gold coin here are the Maple Leafs or American Eagle. No surprise here but any other "local" forms of coins (whatever/whoever they may be) suffers from credibility and reliability. The folks here still go for coins with universal recognition and appeal.

- since the crisis broke out here the value of the rupiah has gone from Rph2400/US$ to Rph9100/US$. Altho the gold avg price went from approximately US$330 to US$290 now, folks here would still be better off holding gold cause 1 oz of it would be worth about Rph 3M versus a (2 year ago) worth of about Rph 790k.

- regarding safety in publicly voicing political opinion? Lets put it this way, the govt has got bigger problems to worry about. Did you see/read about the unrest in West Kalimantan? Saw the photos of folks walking about carrying heads (yes heads) of their enemies??? Absolutely grouse.

Regards.
