I have received some query into my mention of the coming currency
recall in my response to a colleague's question on gold investing.
The information I have on it is sketchy, but here goes:

The coming currency recall is, according to one of my doom-sayer
sources, is a plan created by the Treasury Department and the
Federal Reserve, in conjunction with finance ministers of several other
Western countries, to replace our current U.S. paper currency with
a new currency that will be impossible to counterfeit. This new currency
is called "rainbow money" because it is reported to be already printed
and uses a different color for each demonimation. It also has a thread
running through it to make it impossible to counterfeit. The plan was
for Japan to lead the way with a new currency of their own, and the
U. S. would follow soon after. Last year, Japan announced their new
currency, so it follows that a currency exchange is imminent in this
country. 

The doom-sayers have "uncovered" this "highly secret plan"
to replace the dollar suddenly, without warning. This is to catch
the drug smugglers in their own game, making their cash profits of
no use unless they go to a bank and exchange it for the new money.
This will force the underground money to come above ground.

That, say the doom-sayers, is the reason given by the government. But
the "real" reason, according to them and their unimpeachable sources,
is much more sinister. It is a way of debauching the currency without
announcing an official devaluation; from what I can gather, the 
exchange rate will not be 1-for-1. This will, of course, throw us
into another depression, and the banks will rack up a bunch of dough
like they did in the last depression. (SMILEY FACE GOES HERE)

I am getting facetious now; I really don't know what the actual
"sinister" reason is behind all this. You see, my sources are the
junk mailings I get from countless doom-sayer magazines which
present these facts to tease me into subscribing to their magazines
to find out more. None of the junk mailings has told me what the
actual sinister reason is, and I'm not about to subscribe to find
out. All I know is that more than one doom-sayer is predicting this.
I believe I have also read an obscure reference to it in Barron's.
If someone else out there has a more reliable source, please feel
free (and urged) to post what you know. I must depend only on my 
junk mail for my information about the currency recall.

(I don't know what kind of mailing list I have gotten on, but it's
a lot of fun.
