Boycott the Banks: Buy Gold

27 January 2010

For those who missed it, here is the short film I made with the BBC’s Daily Politics show, about the romance and practicality of buying gold coins, and using them as an alternative currency.

And if you are persuaded to buy gold coins rather than putting money into pension schemes and usurious banks, then here is the website of John Haynes and Co, noble dealers in gold and silver. I’d highly recommend a visit to this charming shop if you find yourself in the City, and many thanks to John and Christopher for their time and insights. TH
