I guess that's a big part of the allure of Canadian Junk Silver to me, there's something poetic about storing my wealth in the Silver coinage of a nation that has since been subverted wholesale: keeping the memory of a better time alive along with preserving my wealth. Especially with the tragic irony that the average Canadian doesn't even know Canada ever used Silver as money.
