Libertarian Presidential Candidate Jim Duesning Supports the Increased Production of Nickels

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jim Duensing for President

Patriot’s Day 2011 APR 19 – God Bless Samuel Whittemore

Libertarian Presidential Candidate Jim Duensing supports the increased
production of nickels.

With the bad economic times of this New Depression there are few
investments paying off for the United States Government like its
stockpiles of nickles. A nickel is now worth a little more than six and a
half cents.

With the dollar losing value against the yen and even the Euro, at least
the nickel is gaining ground against the dollar. The neutered quarter
(post 1964) is only worth about 6 cents – one fourth of its face value.
By contrast, the amazing nickel is worth 133% of its face value. The
nickel has proven that it can pull more that its own share of the weight
in our present monetary troubles.

As such, Libertarian Presidential candidate Jim Duensing calls on the
Treasury to increase its production of nickels. More nickels means more
prosperity. “If every American simply traded in all of their fiat paper
dollars for rolls of nickels, each American, and the nation as a
consequence, would be 33% wealthier. More nickels, less fiat paper
currency. That’s one key to a strong American economy.”

Libertarian Presidential candidate Jim Duensing believes nickels will
continue to gain value against the dollar. “It is just a matter of time
before a nickel is worth more than 7 cents a piece. At this rate, the
nation would be foolish not to invest in the production of more nickels.”

To bring attention to this issue, Libertarian Presidential candidate Jim
Duensing is asking his supporters to engage in any and all of the
following action items:

ACTION ITEMS

1. At the checkout counter, ask for your coins in pennies and nickels.

Most pennies, those made before 1982, are worth almost three times their
face value. And, all nickels are worth more than their face value.
Please do not ask for more than a dollars worth of change at, for
instance, a grocery store chain as there business is not set up for that.
But, if questioned about why you are making the still unusual request of
getting your coins in nickels and pennies, please take the opportunity to
explain to them the amazing monetary power of the nickel.

2. Go to a Federal Reserve Member bank and exchange your paper fiat
currency for nickels.

Remember, every one dollar you hold in nickels is worth about $1.33. That
means that a $2 roll of 40 nickels is worth almost three dollars. Nickels
are amazing. By purchasing and holding their savings in nickels instead
of paper federal reserve notes, Jim Duensing supporters are securing their
own financial position while engaging in targeted investments designed to
encourage the Treasury to increase its production of nickels.

3. Trade all your neutered quarters to your friends for nickels.

The metal content of a neutered (post 1964) quarter is about 6 cents.
Any single nickel is worth more than that at 6.5 cents. By trading one
quarter for five nickels, you are essentially trading 6 cents for more
than 30 cents. Take the opportunity to tell your friends about the
amazing monetary power of nickels and why they should follow these action
items.

4. Write your Congressman and encourage them to support investing heavily
in our nation’s future by directing the Treasury to increase its
production of nickels.

    “Do you want to know how it is done? Run a Presidential campaign the way Ed Clark did in 1980. Ed Clark is the standard from which all Libertarian Presidential candidates will be judged. So far no one has come close. Jim Duensing you have to do better than this.”

    This is easier said than done. Find a mega-rich Vice Presidential candidate like Ed Clark had (ie-David Koch) and then somebody can do this.

    So you think low-information voters will vote for you because of your information about quarters and nickels?

    And how do these people hear this important information if not through media outlets? You planning on walking through various cities talking to people about it?

    @ JT #16

    Action Items 1 and 3 are aimed at spreading the word to low information voters.

    In the grocery store checkout line it takes less than 30 seconds to explain this concept. Try that with the non-aggression principle 🙂

    With friends, it takes even less time to explain the value of the nickel. If they are smart, they will see the value of the nickel and help spread the word and put pressure on the Treasury to produce more amazing nickels.

    I asked a recycler this question, would you take nickles to recycle? They said no.

    Still, I have a few stockpiled. Anyone want to buy them for $0.06 each?

  5. JT April 20, 2011

    Could be interesting, Jill. Of course, I said not 5 in 100 random people, like in a formal survey. The people who read your Facebook page aren’t random. You still might like that though.

  6. Jill Pyeatt Post author | April 20, 2011

    JT, I don’t work in the media and I’m relatively new @ posting here. I’m curious, though, about whether people think it’san interesting topic. I’ll post the article on my Facebook page, and found out what they have to say there.

  7. JT April 20, 2011

    Jill: “JT, I actually found this press release timely and interesting, certainly a little better than the constant Obama-bashing from another Presidential hopeful. I don’t post many of the articles that I find, but I thought this was a little different.”

    To each his (or her) own, Jill. I suspect you don’t work in the media and this wouldn’t grab the attention of 5 random people in 100. It’s definitely “different” though.

    Wayne’s Obama-bashing seems obsessive and sometimes contains bluster and questionable claims (at best), but I’ve never found anything he put out boring.

  8. JT April 20, 2011

    Jim: “And, this is not aimed at the Establishment Media. I’m not getting their vote. This effort is aimed at the low information voter.”

    So you think low-information voters will vote for you because of your information about quarters and nickels?

    And how do these people hear this important information if not through media outlets? You planning on walking through various cities talking to people about it?

  9. Jill Pyeatt Post author | April 20, 2011

    Jim, I’ll go in and fix the fourth paragraph.

    JT, I actually found this press release timely and interesting, certainly a little better than the constant Obama-bashing from another Presidential hopeful. I don’t post many of the articles that I find, but I thought this was a little different.

    Oh, well.

  10. Jim Duensing April 20, 2011

    The 4th paragraph should read: It is just a matter of time before a nickel is worth more than 7 cents a piece.

    And, this is not aimed at the Establishment Media. I’m not getting their vote. This effort is aimed at the low information voter. The folks on Las Vegas Blvd that I spoke to yesterday about this topic, at a memorial for the victims of the terrorist attacks of April 19th 1995 and 1993 and in honor of the heroes of Lexington Green, were all quite interested in how their personal financial position would be improved by this “boring” bit of politics.

    Buy Nickels.

    I understood the release, Jim. The writing and the topic are boring. The press doesn’t care about this one iota. It also needed some copy editing.

  12. Jim Duensing April 20, 2011

    I’m encouraging monetary stability. Our nickels are doing quite well for themselves these days. Much better than the quarter.

    While we are pumping money into the economy, we should consider pumping in some nickels. The nickels are gaining in value while most all of our other currency is decreasing in value.

    I’ll take my quantitative easing in nickels please.

    LG: “oh JT , if only he were kidding:) Im quite certain he’s not…”

    I don’t think he is either, LOL.

    Jim: “@ JT I’ll give you one neutered quarter for every five nickels you have”

    I think I’ll pass on that offer, Jim.

    This is the thing you’re sending a press release out about? Neutered quarters and nickels? Wow.

  14. Jim Duensing April 20, 2011

    @ JT I’ll give you one neutered quarter for every five nickels you have

  15. LibertarianGirl April 20, 2011

    oh JT , if only he were kidding:) Im quite certain he’s not… Am I high( I am) or is this actually one of Duensings better ideas?

    I have had two people tell me to watch this film today. It apparently is just out, or coming out soon and is about the U.S. military.
    I have not seen it and may have a misunderstanding of what it is about.

    Is Jim Duensing suggesting we nickel and dime the Federal Reserve?

  18. Steve April 20, 2011

    Sounds good, except that the capital costs of setting up the smelting operation in my back yard will eat up all the 1.5 cent profit from my nickles.

  19. JT April 20, 2011

    You’ve gotta be kidding me with this.

  20. LibertarianGirl April 20, 2011

    I have nickels and pennies for sale at 3 times their face value BTW

  21. AroundtheblockAFT April 20, 2011

    Wait a minute, now. Isn’t this the week we are supposed to collect used tinfoil to make hats for Obamatrons? I can never keep straight these major initiatives of the LP.
