I loved the "if you have gold bullion lying around" line too. I can't think of anyone who would have legitimate use for this type of card. I think gold is the new home equity loan - the speculation is insane. I recently saw the bouncer from the Jerry Springer Show on a commercial hawking some "CASH FOR GOLD" scam. If Jerry Springer's bouncer is doing it it MUST be a good idea:( Ha! I loved the "if you have gold bullion lying around" line too.

Though, I suppose, the same could be said about money. Still, pointing to the banking system as an example is probably not terribly useful, given the last few years...

It also reminds me of the kind of people who buy gold from a company and then *let the company store it for them*. How would you ever know if they even *had* your gold or if they'd sold it to someone else?
