Dual lands have a use case, these do not.
Pure silver has intrinsic value. People who don't care about small pieces of cardboard will consider silver a desirable commodity.
>Pure silver has intrinsic value
Not really, no. Being a potential store of value isn't anything intrinsic to the metal itself, just trends in human history.
Pure silver is antimicrobial.
>deconstructionist midwittery
The device you're posting from right now will have silver in its circuit boards
>Pure silver has intrinsic value.
Yeah, about $10 in a real market.
>doesn't understand why the equivalent amount of fiat paper continues increasing
Silver’s value is historically suppressed and is due to explode in value soon.
>the world is gonna end tomorrow
>no, actually it's next week
>no, actually actually it's next month
>no, actually actually actually it's next year
Do you guys ever get tired of being wrong?
>fiat economies historically only last about 100 years before requiring a reset
>keeps happening over and over throughout history
>but this time it will be different, because it's happening during my time, and I'm special
Weird how you treat "resetting the central banking system again" with "the world is ending" as equally plausible.
Are people aware that silver and gold coins' value deflates through repeated handling? They're literally the worst kind of currency even if you're a dragon, because all that sleeping they do on their gold heaps is literally making them poorer every day.
How so?
Handling coins or making them jingle around in your purse as you walk sands them flat. That loss of mass devaluates them over time until they're straight up gone, ground down into dust through repeated use. It's the reason why coins were generally weighted during transactions because you weren't transacting on the basis of what's stamped on the coin but on the value of what's in the coin.
That's why, ever since the ancient world, coins have been minted with 90% silver/gold and 10% base metal to make them more durable.
Coin devaluation through loss of mass still was a real problem in daily transactions, all the way up until we stopped using gold and silver as currency.
I'm currently reading an italian language guide from 1794 in which one dialoug features a hatter refusing to take payment in a coin that, to his eyes, has been ground down too severely.
I can't eat silver OR paper currency. Real value is food and weapons.
>Real value is food
Which is fungible with other food and can always be stored long-term with no devaluation.
Food spoils and who lives by sword shall die by sword.
The use case for dual lands is accomplished by a 20 cent proxy.
It's explicitly because they're not being reprinted. You homosexuals know this.
these aren't being reprinted either genius
*reminted*
The One Ring mogs your shitty coin
I was watching some of that Tolarian Community College on youtube and they were playing with moxes and lotuses when playing Canadian Highlander.
Surely those were proxies? No one actually plays with a real black lotus in their deck these days, right?
Cardboard crack is a hell of a neckbeard drug.
