This might sound like a ridiculous topic, but we are living in ridiculous times.
Do you think the government would dare confiscate two coins beloved by many- the Indian Head cent and the Buffalo nickel? Both feature native Americans on the obverse. Some extremists types could maintain that these are "racist" coins.
To those who say "no way" I submit that I thought it was impossible for interest rates (anywhere in the world) to go below zero. I also thought there was absolutely no way oil would go below zero.
I personally don't really think this will happen, but am curious what others on this site think.
P.S. I apologize to anyone who thinks I am trying to stir the pot. I am merely a curious person seeking opinions from others. It would truly be a sad day if any type of confiscation ever occurred.
