Ah yes silver, real money since the beginning of man’s history! I hate paper money. How can it be worth more than coins? Well, it’s not really worth more is it?!    

Spoiler Alert: At the end of the article learn how you can make money "playing a fun sport"!

In Switzerland I Can Still Find Silver Coins! It's Free Money!

 Here in Switzerland you can still find silver coins in circulation but not that many people seem to know or care! 1, 2 and 5 franc coins were made of silver until 1967 and were eventually demonetized. The 5 Franc coin was again minted in silver for one final year in 1969 after skipping 1968.

Of course when you find a silver coin it's exciting and it's obviously worth more than its face value! Have a look at the coins below:

The 5 Franc (about $5.00) coin in the middle is my favourite to find because it's the biggest. For comparison's sake I've put a 25 cent U.S. coin to its left and a 1 ounce Autralian silver coin to its right. Am I correct to like the biggest one the most?

It's Actually Better to Find The Smaller Coins!

Here are the melt values for the various Swiss silver coins at today's prices:

• 5o cent coin: o.0671 oz (US $ 1.23) Almost 2.5  times its face value at todays melt price!
• 1 Franc coin: 0.1342 oz (US $ 2.47) Again almost 2.5 times its face value!
• 2 Franc coin: 0.2685 oz (US $ 4.94) Again almost 2.5 times its face value!
• 5 Franc coin: 0.4027 oz (US $ 7.41) Hmmmm..... only 1.5 times its face value!

When it Comes to Swiss Currency Bigger Isn't Better!

Coin Roll Hunting in The USA

In the USA finding 1/2 dollar Silver Coins has long been a fun "sport" although it seems that those coins are getting tougher to find these days. Some have, in the past, made a nice little living off of finding silver coins!

Fellow Steemers You Are Pioneers in The Currency Revolution!

Looking for Silver Coins is a fun sport but blogging on Steemit is even more fun and profitable!

Remember fiat currency is really just paper or worse. You are doing well by earning a digital currency called Steem. Remember, 1 Bitcoin is now worth almost the same as 1 ounce of gold. I got my first Bitcoin at $2.00 and I'm still buying! What will Steem eventually be worth? Who knows but I have been collecting it for free for quite some time now!

I hope that you enjoyed learning how to get free money "playing a fun sport"!

Until next time,
