Silver Coin Commerce

Armin Voigt

Hello, my name is Armin Voigt. I grew up on our families’ cattle ranch in rural North Dakota, and by rural, I mean really rural. The nearest neighbor was five miles away. I commuted 25 miles to attend high school.  The graduating class was 42 students, and we had what was considered a big class for the town of Killdeer, which is the largest city in Dunn County with a population of only 722 people. My wife Lori and I moved to Idaho in 1996, we have a chocolate lab named Moose, that keeps us company at our home on Indian Creek south of Boise, Idaho.

I am currently employed by Micron Technology, Inc., which makes memory devices for computers, cell phones, cameras, etc. Lori is self-employed and works with the deaf and hearing impaired.

On Feb 1, 2010 I became the Editor of SilverCoinCommerce™, which I am very excited about. It might just be time for us, as American citizens to take a closer look at our monetary system and start inching back towards a commodity based currency, preferably backed by gold and silver. My aim, as Editor (and contributing Author) is to present interesting articles about the history of money, coinage, precious metals, constitutionality, and maybe even open up conversations and opportunities about how to use existing silver coin supplies to conduct day to day transactions within our communities.

I’m looking forward to your feedback, comments, and any suggestions you might have on how to make this website better.

Thank you for visiting,

Armin Voigt
