Gold & Silver Buyer’s Guide Inc. SINCE 1973 Precious Metals Buyer’s Guide Gold and silver are two of the most conservative investments you can make. However, if you buy the wrong form, you could lose 30% to 50% immediately. There are various forms of gold and silver, but the first thing to know is that YOU WANT BULLION, not numismatic/collectible coins that are hyped on radio and TV. With bullion, you pay the smallest mark-up over the current value of the gold/silver content. In short, you get more metal for your money. The commonly-promoted numismatic/collectible coins on radio/TV easily carry premiums of 30% to 50% and sometimes two to three times the value of the gold/silver content. Gold bullion comes in two forms: bullion coins and bullion bars. GOLD 1-oz. American Gold Eagle bullion coins Gold bullion coins are produced by various government mints, including the U.S. Mint, the Royal Canadian Mint, Australia’s Perth Mint and the Austrian Mint. 1-oz. Canadian Gold Maple Leaf 1-oz. American Gold Eagles are the world’s most popular gold bullion coins; they also come in ½-oz., ¼-oz. and 1/10-oz. coins. Because Gold Eagles are alloyed coins, 91.67% pure (22-karat), they weigh slightly more than their stamped weights. Be assured that a 1-oz. Gold Eagle contains one ounce of gold, and a ½-oz. Gold Eagle contains one-half ounce of gold, etc. 1-oz. Australian Gold Kangaroo 1-oz.

HOW TO READ THE BILL REID BILL by JEFFREY DECLOEDT B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Art History) The University of British Columbia (Vancouver) October 2008 ©Jeffrey DeCloedt, 2008 11 ABSTRACT This thesis argues that the First Nations and their material culture have been used as tropes in the construction of national symbols on Canadian money. The twenty dollar bill from the 2004 series of Canadian banknotes, Canadian Journeys, was the impetus for this inquiry. The art of Bill Reid is featured on this banknote. Reid is an artist who identifies, on his mothers side, with the Haida First Nations and his art takes its themes and style from the Haida crest imagery. The implications of utilizing a First Nations artist on a Canadian banknote becomes problematic when considering the antagonistic historical relationship Canada has had with the First Nations and the multiplicity of unresolved land claims. Therefore, I ask, how this Bill Reid banknote should be read. In answering this question I have divided this thesis into three parts. First, I analyze a historical precedent for this contemporary banknote. The 1870 two dollar bill is useful for it both gives an example of the use of First Nations as a trope in representing the nation and it helps expose the importance of money as a national symbol at the time when Canada was struggling to come together as a modern nation. In the next section I analyze the Bill Reid bill as both a part of a symbolic construction of nation and as a material practice which has regional or territorial implications. -
