Yes, maybe but there is also supposed to be a report of a certain amount of gold or silver sold by a dealer. I simply don't know of any that do that unless it's a heck of a lot of money changing hands 10,000.00 and over. I don't believe it is a set amount but based on what someone thinks is happening, sort of like in the banks.If they suspect something it can be a small amount of cash, I don't bank at a bank and haven't for years. Credit unions are probably under some of the same rules as banks but I do know they are not under all of the same rules. How many people do you know that reported on themselves on the amount they sold stuff for? I personally don't know of any even though it was required to and was considered income to a state or the feds. Dis I tell ya I don't trust banks LOL, and I really don't.

Thanks for all the great ideas and info everyone. Maybe buy 10-20 or even 30 1 oz gold American coins to put away to pass on when I pass on. This was never intended to be a SHTF thing but it kind of went there to so hey it's all good.
