        This coin may appear to be an Eisenhower silver dollar, but it is really a concealment device. It was used to hide messages or film so they could be sent secretly. Because it looks like ordinary pocket change, it is almost undetectable.

        Suspicious of what?? I carry an actual silver silver dollar as a pocket piece (not like the Cu-NI dollar shown). A lot of coin collectors and silver enthusiasts do this. Good conversation starter. Nobody has ever looked at me as though I were guilty of something terrible.

        Exactly...after JFK murder, Silver was taken out of circulation. US coinage debased to this day. The Fall of the Reublic began right there. USConstitution Article 1 section 8&10 mandate ONLY Gold & Silver coin may be Tender in Payment of Debts. Read Read Read

        Yes, during WW2, desperate measures caused by metal shortages caused the US mint to use human re-pubic material mixed with tin ...just kidding.

        Even that war never would have happened but for the banking consortium that supplanted the constitutions mandate for gold & silver. Rather Impressive of the Germans trying to decapitate the beast in WW1 by targeting JPMorgan. Who knows What woulda.

        "Okay, give me the film". "You know how they use a silver dollar to conceal the film?" "Yes." "I spent it." "You spent the evidence?" "I was thirsty!"
