People ask us all the time: what’s the difference between a silver round and a silver coin? They look almost identical, they can both be traded, and they can both contain one troy ounce of fine silver—so why does the terminology matter?

In this quick breakdown, we compare a private-mint silver round (Asahi) to a government-minted silver coin (American Silver Eagle) and explain the one key difference that separates “rounds” from “coins.”

Remember the big promises?

Tariff revenue was supposed to end the income tax and even fund stimulus checks. But it never added up, and the numbers make that painfully clear.

Through the first three months of fiscal 2026, the federal government collected $90 billion in tariffs. In that same stretch, it spent $1.83 trillion.

In this clip, Money Metals analyst and reporter Mike Maharrey explains why tariffs can’t solve a government spending crisis, why the U.S. also has a borrowing problem, and how that fuels global de-dollarization. When the math doesn’t work, the pressure builds for the Federal Reserve to step in

Geiger Silver Bars Blacklight Test: See the LEV Mark Glow

Geiger silver bars blacklight test in real time.

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates and ended balance sheet reduction at its last meeting despite acknowledging persistent inflation.

This doesn’t make sense in a sane world.

But we don’t live in a sane world.

In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, Mike Maharrey tries to make sense of the insanity. He says that the key to understanding the Fed’s moves is recognizing that inflation is the plan. The central bank doesn’t want to tackle inflation. It just wants to keep it at a level that doesn’t make you too angry. In fact, the government needs inflation to support its borrowing and spending problem. Mike argues that this isn’t a policy you can vote away. You can only take steps to minimize its impact on your life.
