Im watching a commercial for a gold 9-11 coin with a silver inlay of the towers and the uss new York.
They make a point of mentioning that the silver was actually recovered from beneath the tower rubble.
Where would this silver have come from? How could it have been recoverable?
This sort of disturbs me.
I'm sure the recovered silver has to do with a Zionist plot of some sort. It must be related in some way to the Mossad putting sharks in the water to attack tourists and hurt Egypt's economy.

Or maybe not.
[cheeky]
Are you saying something sold on TV may not be 100% legitimate? [roll]
So they recovered silver but couldn't find the flight recorders anywhere?? Sketchy!
^^
Good point.

Something like that?
It also said that the Secret Service authorized the FBI seal on the back.
And at the end it said "National Collector's Mint is an independent, private corporation not affiliated with, endorsed, or licensed by the U.S. government or the U.S. Mint."
HA

I see it as more of ghouls making money off the incredibly stupid and gullible. Seriously... Who in their right mind believes that shit? And even if it were true and it was real money, don't ya think it's in bad taste? Why would you want to support that?

It was discovered that the silver analyzed was, indeed, not silver, and was only worth about 32 cents

gullible and stupid??? Impossible!!!! I saw the ad on TV and
MY TV does not lie to me...I was taught that TV is "truth" since childhood starting with Sesame Street and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.
Now I have to get over to the doctor to get 40 prescriptions written for all those medications I clearly need to make my life better...TV told me I probably need them!!

I created an elixir that cures everything! Say goodbye to balding, gout, headaches, pimples, high blood pressure and any heart conditions requiring open heart surgery..........
I was planning on getting a wooden wagon and a donkey to pull it. I'll go from town to town and sell this amazing elixir.
I think I saw the commercial for that coin about a billion times during the Twilight Zone marathon yesterday.
Struck me as being in pretty poor taste also, not to mention taking advantage of the gullible/stupid. Wonder how many they've sold already.... :-\

That's why it disturbs me. They *are* making money off the dead.

I watched all 4 of those shows! I am at that weird age of in between. Between boomer and what came next.
There are coins for everything from the Franklin Mint.
The history channel makes money off the dead. Graceland makes money off the dead. Ringo makes money off the dead.
Just say'n.
To me..... it's tastless...... much like broccoli. I will partake in neither. I prefer to remember 9/11 by trying to act like it's 9/12 everyday.

Oh, that is a low and dirty blow.
Yeah....for all the points about it being made by private industry......that's got "ripping off the dead" written all over it.

the commercial actually says the "secret service employee association" or something like that.. I don't have the exact verbiage, but it's subtle.
also, it doesn't say the fbi logo, it is the sec service employee association logo or whatever they actually say.

Ride up to an event on your duck, the young ladies look your way.
Take off your helmet, they see you are bald and gray, some look away.
Unzip your jacket they, see your beer belly pop out, the rest turn away [bang]
