This morning we received a nice letter from an interested party, and we thought our response was worth sharing.
A group of us like your idea, but we would like see a serial number on the metal that corresponds to the card ( all serial numbers being different and recorded ) ... Also have a bonding company come up with a open ended bond that would assure buyers of the metal content and print the bonding company name, policy number and phone # on the card too ( since the only way is to open weigh and test ) ... and of course work on lowering the premium paid for the metal ( that will be the hardest, but is needed as you grow ) ... To many companies have run up the premium charged to develop dies and press and just can't compete with a system that you have ... I wish you well and hope that your idea pans out.

Shire Silver believes in competition and diversity, so we're naturally big fans of bitcoins. We've been accepting bitcoins for purchases for a while now, and so when we heard about the Bitcoin Friday promotion we jumped on board right away.

As we expected, the Utah law that allows the use of gold and silver coins has not produced a lot of growth in the use of sound money. There's some good reasons why these state initiatives cannot result in a return to sound money, but the latest news shows how futile the attempts are.
Rep. Brad Galvez, R-West Haven, sponsored legislation last year to recognize gold and silver as legal tender in the state, but doing business with the metals remains impractical.

We like competition as well as tech, so when something like bitcoin comes along we get intrigued. We've used it for a while now, and find that it complements Shire Silver fairly well.
