That's some serious weight.

Every pmg header should be shiny.
Shiny doesn't get old. Ancients for a case in point.

>3) We're at End of Days, and silver and gold will be the only currency. However, radical Christfags believe this and seem to be working towards making it happen.
In Rev a silver coin, the denarius, representing a day's wage was worth the equivalent of a loaf of bread. I crunched the numbers. A measure of wheat then would make about one loaf of their bread, or a little more than a loaf of bread we generally have today. Oddly enough, the Mercury dime is about the same proportion of silver to wheat in a modern loaf of bread.
Pic related is a denarius. It's got Mercury on it.

I find it absolutely fascinating that the merc dime looks so similar to the obverse of many denarius'. Just facing the other way.
