'Twas the "CC" That Saved Christmas

'Twas the beginning of winter
And all through the land
All of the coin dealers
Wished bullion was banned.

No Panda Bears, no Maple leafs,
No Krugerrands or Eagles.
No Philharmonics or Kangaroos,
Because they’d be illegal.

The people would be saddened
And void of Christmas cheer
All searching for a replacement
For bullion held so dear.

But what could replace bullion
And hold their hearts anew?
Perhaps a little “CC” coin
Struck in silver, and gold, too!

Any humble collector knows
The Carson Mint provided much
With three separate silver dollars,
And a twenty-center as a nice touch!

In addition to those special ones,
There’s five, ten, and twenty dollar gold,
Then the quarter, dime, and half dollar
With strikes that are so bold.

Bullion lovers, do not despair
Your hobby is not quite dead
You just need a change of pace,
So why not buy a “CC” coin instead!
