I'm 17 years old, holding a coin that's supposed to be silver. It isn't. Nobody tells me why. Nobody in school ever does. Six years later, a letter finds me in the middle of a war from my rich dad, warning me something is about to change. He was right. Decades after that, a phone call comes about a gold mine, about a government that decides a promise made to me doesn't matter anymore. There's a law hiding behind all of it, a law that explains why fake money always chases out the real thing.

1:27Once you see it, you can't unsee it. I'm Robert Kiyosaki, and today we follow The Coin. This is the Rich Dad Radio Show, the good news and bad news about money. Here's Robert Kiyosaki. Welcome to the Rich Dad Radio Show, the good and bad about money. This is Robert Kiyosaki, and today is just you and me. and we're talking about what the rich are teaching their kids about money. I was 17 years old. I was holding a quarter and something was wrong with it. It felt light, cheap, like a toy. 1965 was stamped right on the face of it and I knew, I knew that quarter was supposed to be silver. No, they told me.

2:18It's copper now. Copper. Nobody explained why. Nobody in school ever explained why. I didn't know it then, but I was holding the first piece of evidence, evidence of a crime that's still happening right now. Six years later, I'm flying a helicopter in Vietnam. A letter comes from my rich dad. He says, watch what just happened to the dollar. I had no idea what he meant. He said the world is about to change. He was right. And by the end of this episode, you are going to know exactly what he meant and what it's still doing to your money today. Here's the problem. That quarter wasn't a mistake. It was a warning.

3:06There's a law, an old law in economics called Gresham's Law. Most people have never heard of it. most schools never teach it. Gresham's law says something simple. When fake money enters a system, good money disappears. It goes into hiding. Think about it. When the government swapped the silver out for something worthless, kept the size the same, kept the color close enough, and hoped nobody who wasn't paying attention would notice the coin had quietly become a lie, they were testing something. They were testing whether people could tell the difference. The moment they made that swap, every silver quarter in America vanished.

3:51Overnight. People weren't stupid. They just knew deep down which coin was real. So they held on to the real one and spent the fake one. That's Gresham's law. Bad money chases out good money every single time. Now here's why this matters to you sitting there right now. Your paycheck is the copper quarter. It looks like money. It spends like money, but there's nothing real behind it. But most people don't realize that. They think a dollar is a dollar. It's not. A dollar today is a promise, not an asset. And promises get broken. Here's something that's going to sound wrong. Being responsible with your money will not save you.

4:42Let that sit for a second. I know people get angry when I say that, but responsible people still save Reichmarks in Germany. Responsible people still trusted the gold standard right up until the day it disappeared. Responsible didn't save them. Understanding would have. Here's how bad it's gotten. You put a dollar in the bank. They pay you a few pennies of interest. Then they turn around and lend out$20 against that one dollar of yours and charge somebody else 20 % to borrow it. You and I did that we'd go to jail they call it banking that's not protecting your money that's using it years later long after that quarter i'd get a phone call about a gold mine about a government that decided a promise made to me didn't matter either i'll get to that call but first you need to understand what happened in 1971 because 1971 is the year the whole country started living inside that copper a quarter.

5:48We'll tackle that when I get back. Thanks for listening to my show. Here is something you need to know. Elon Musk just made the most controversial move of his entire career. It's a little-known FCC filing that could secure him a virtual monopoly in the AI market. This move could totally dominate his competitors like Amazon, Meta, Google, and Microsoft. And according to legendary tech investor James Altucher, it will create 1.8 million new millionaires over the next decade. If his name sounds familiar, it's because James was one of the earliest to call the rise of NVIDIA, Apple, and Elon's super IPO years in advance.

6:35And today he dives deep into Elon Musk's next major move and why he thinks it will be bigger than Tesla, SpaceX, and XAI combined. But for your chance to get in on the best action, you need to act by the end of this month. To hear James' full uncensored presentation, go to muskmasterclass.com right now. That's muskmasterclass.com. Paid for by Paradigm Press. The system was never broken. It was built this way. People People keep asking me why the system feels rigged. Let me be blunt. It isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed. Designed by the rich, for the rich, to keep everyone else locked outside the room where the real money is made.

7:22It starts in school. It keeps you working for money instead of learning how money works for the rich. There are two sets of rules. One set for people who work for money. Another set entirely for the people who print it, control it, and move it. I'm not telling you this to make you angry and helpless. I'm telling you because once you see the game, you can learn to play it. The rich didn't get rich by working harder. They got rich by understanding rules nobody bothered to teach you. Learn the real rules. That's the only rebellion that actually works. That is why I'm introducing you to Devin and her Capital Club.

To learn more, go to CapitalClub33.com. That's CapitalClub33.com. Go there and beat the system. Don't let the system beat you. CapitalClub33.com. Okay, we're back. I was telling you about 1971. In 1971, President Nixon gets on television. And he tells the country the dollar is no longer backed by gold. Most Americans didn't even blink. It sounded technical, boring, something for bankers. It wasn't boring. It was the end of an empire.

8:45That's not an exaggeration. Every empire in history has done the exact same thing right before it fell. Rome did it. They started shaving silver off their coins, mixing in cheaper metal, calling it money anyway. Germany did it. Weimar Germany printed so much currency that people burned cash in their stoves because it was cheaper than firewood. China has done it over and over. And in 1971, America did it too. My Rich Dad's letter finally made sense. He wasn't warning me about a policy change. He was warning me the country had just taken off its parachute. Here's what nobody teaches you in school.

9:32Since 1971, the dollar has lost roughly 95 % of its value against gold. Ninety-five percent. Do the math yourself. Gold was$35 an ounce in 1971. Today, it's well over$3 ,000. That's not gold going up. that's your dollar collapsing. Your grandfather's dollar and your dollar are not the same animal. His was backed by something real. Yours is backed by a promise from people who print more of it every single time they run out. That's why I've always said it plainly, savers are losers. Not because saving is a bad habit, because the thing you're saving isn't real anymore. They call it currency. I call it what it is, fake money.

10:22The central bank behind all of this isn't even fully American. It was built in part by European banking families who never wanted gold limiting how much they could print. They wanted what Germany had right before Germany collapsed, wheelbarrow money. There's an old story. A German woman pushes a wheelbarrow full of cash to the bakery just to buy one loaf of bread. She comes out of the bakery and someone stole her wheelbarrow. They left the cash sitting right there on the sidewalk. That's what fake money becomes, worthless enough to leave behind. Same story, different country, different decade.

11:03Rome, Germany, now us. And when fake money floods the system, the rich get richer, because they own the assets that fake money chases. And everyone else gets quietly, slowly poorer. That's the gap. That's the real gap between rich and poor. It's not talent. It's not luck. It's who owns the asset and who's holding the currency. Before the break, remember this. My rich dad sent me a warning I didn't understand in 1971. It took me 30 years to find out where it led. to a mine, to a phone call from a government that thought it could just take. What happened next changed how I think about money forever.

11:50Don't go anywhere. Hey, thanks for listening to my show. I wanted to tell you that according to my friend Jim Records, a former advisor to the CIA and the Pentagon, with close ties to the Trump administration, President Trump is about to make a move that will shock the markets and opened the doors of the world's single biggest gold deposit right here on U.S. soil. Inside this deposit is the equivalent of more than 161 million ounces of gold, which at today's prices would be worth nearly$1 trillion. And as gold continues to hit new highs this year, this deposit could make some people very, very rich.

12:33That's why Jim, a world-renowned gold expert, with over 40 years as industry insider, just made a huge prediction about this Trump move and what he calls Donald Trump's secret$2 gold mine. And for all the details on this little-known$2 gold company, simply go to offair26.com to watch his presentation. That's offair26.com, paid for by Paradigm Press. Okay, we're back. we're talking about 1971, about the letter, about a system running on fake money. Now here's where it gets personal. Here's the phone call. 2002, I go looking for gold, real gold, in the ground, not paper gold. I find a mine in Dahlia in China.

13:26We take it public, Toronto Stock Exchange, put$27 million into it, and we hit it, the richest vein of gold in that region's history. For one brief, beautiful moment, I was a billionaire. Then the phone rings, it's the Chinese Communist Party, and they say very politely, thank you very much for taking your mind. Just like that. I said, you can't do that. They said they could. That's communism, by the way. Not a headline, not a debate on television. I lived it. They can take whatever they decide is theirs. There's no court to call, no lawyer to hire, no appeal. The rules only apply to you, never to them.

14:18Then a few years later, they call back. And they make me an offer. Give us a million dollars, they say, and we'll give you your mind back. million dollars. Maybe it was a billion. Didn't matter. I was tempted. I could see it. Billionaire again. All I had to do was pay. Then a friend said something I've never forgotten. He said, the moment you pay a crook, you pay him forever. I didn't pay because he was right. A crook doesn't stop once he's been paid. He just This learns you're the kind of person who pays. That's the lesson, not about China, about every relationship you'll ever have with money.

15:01If someone shows you once who they are, believe them. I call it country risk. Some places respect the rule of law. Some places don't. If they don't respect it, I don't do business there. Doesn't matter how much gold is in the ground. So I walked away, found a silver mine instead in Argentina. We call it Corriente. We start developing it and the price of silver starts falling. I couldn't figure out why. The mine was good. The silver was real. Then I found out. It wasn't the mine. It was the market. It was being managed by a bank. J.P. Morgan. They got caught. Nine figures. for raking a market that missiles and solar panels and the entire electronics industry all depend on.

15:54A billion dollars. That wasn't a rumor. That was the government's own case against one of the biggest banks on Earth. And here's the part that still makes me angry. They kept doing it. One phone call, one fine, nine figures. And none of it stopped a thing. When we come back, I'll show you exactly why they need it low, what a missile has to do with your retirement account, and why silver might be the most mispriced metal on earth right now. Don't go anywhere. Thanks for listening to my show. Here is something you need to know. Elon Musk just made the most controversial move of his entire career.

16:36It's a little-known FCC filing that could secure him a virtual monopoly in the AI market. This move could totally dominate his competitors like Amazon, Meta, Google, and Microsoft.

People keep asking me why the system feels rigged. Let me be blunt. It isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed. designed by the rich for the rich to keep everyone else locked outside the room where the real money is made. It starts in school. It keeps you working for money instead of learning how money works for the rich. There are two sets of rules. One set for people who work for money. Another set entirely for the people who print it, control it, and move it.

18:13I'm not telling you this to make you angry and helpless. I'm telling you because once you see the game, you can learn to play it. The rich didn't get rich by working harder. They got rich by understanding rules nobody bothered to teach you. Learn the real rules. That's the only rebellion that actually works. That is why I'm introducing you to Devin and her Capital Club. Capital Club brings democracy to investing and opens a backdoor for you, so you can participate in some of the greatest investments you normally would not have access to or be invited to.

18:49That's CapitalClub33.com. Go there and beat the system. Don't let the system beat you. CapitalClub33.com. We are back. We're talking about silver, but a billion dollar fine that changed nothing. Here's why they need the price low. Silver isn't just jewelry. It's not just coins in a drawer. Silver is industrial. Silver is strategic. Every Tomahawk missile has about four pounds of silver packed inside it. Solar panels need it. Electronics need it. The military needs it. When a metal isn't just valuable but strategically necessary for weapons systems, solar technology, and the electronics the whole modern economy runs on, whoever controls its price controls something much bigger than a market.

19:43They controlled it. So the banks have every reason in the world to keep the price low. Cheap silver means cheap weapons, cheap electronics, cheap everything they need to keep running. They don't want you competing for it. Same bank, same playbook. The one that got fined a billion dollars in my silver mine story is one of the biggest players suppressing the price for everyone else too. So for 50 years, they suppressed it. Let that number sit there for a second. Not 50 days, not 50 months, 50 years of a strategic metal being held artificially cheap while the rich quietly accumulated it. Here's what that same game looks like with the currency itself.

20:33It took 84 years from the day the Federal Reserve was created to put roughly$800 billion into circulation. 84 years. Then, in less than 20 years after that, they doubled it. Think about it. Nearly a century to build the first pile, less than two decades to build the second one just as big. That's not policy. That's acceleration. And only recently, silver is finally starting to break free, because you can only suppress something real for so long before the pressure finds a crack. That's why gold moves first, then silver, then the miners. Gold is the signal, it's the smoke. When the world stops trusting currency, gold moves first because it's the oldest, most trusted store of value on earth.

21:28Then people look around and say, gold's expensive. What's cheaper? Silver. That's the sequence. It's not a theory. It's happened every single time currency has failed. Rome, Germany, now us. Third time, I got it right. A gold mine in Utah, rule of law, my kind of place. That mine had been sitting there since the 1880s. Old miners, pickaxes, kerosene lanterns, no cell phones, no satellites, nothing but log books written by candlelight. We took every one of those old log books, ran AI across all of it, every page, every measurement those old miners ever recorded. Imagine spending years chipping away at solid rock by candlelight, certain you'd found everything worth finding, never once suspecting the richest vein in the entire mountain was sitting less than 100 feet from where you finally gave up and walked away.

22:36And the report came back and said something incredible. Those miners missed the vein. They found a small vein, not the main one. They dug right past the richest gold in that mountain and never even knew it was there. Kyle, for over 100 years, it just sat there, waiting. And here's what I thought about the day that report came in. That old miner chipping away at rock in 1880 with a pickaxe and a candle had no idea what he was standing on top of. Just like that 17-year-old kid holding a copper quarter in 1965 had no idea what he was holding either. Both of them were standing on top of the truth.

23:23Neither one could see it yet. that's the difference between most people and an investor. An investor doesn't need better eyes. An investor asks better questions. Most people walk right past the vein every single day and they never even know it's there. Your vein might not be gold. It might be an asset you've walked passed a hundred times without ever looking down. So here's where we are right now. Gold has already moved. Silver is next. Then the miners follow. That's always been the order. The government has a number they love to show you. They call it CPI, Consumer Price Index. They want you to think it stands for something honest, accurate, scientific.

24:12I've got a different name for it. CPI really stands for covertly printed inflation, because that's all it is. A number designed to make you feel like prices are stable while they quietly print away everything your dollar is worth. That's why the price of a candy bar isn't the problem. The currents is the problem. Most people are chasing higher wages. Here's the identity decision right now for you. You can keep holding copper and calling it silver, or you can start asking what's real. The poor and the middle class keep saving currency, trusting a number, waiting for someone else to fix it. The rich keep buying the asset the currency has printed to chase.

25:02Same world, same news, same paycheck, maybe. Two completely different games being played. Nobody's coming to fix your money for you. Nobody ever has. I don't know exactly how high silver goes from here. Nobody does. I don't know exactly when the miners catch up or by how much, but I know the sequence and I know which side of that sequence I'd rather be standing on. Most people will wait for the number, for proof, for permission. By the time they get it, the veins already been found by somebody else. That's the difference. Thank you for your time. Thank you for caring about your future. Thank you for understanding that you are the only one who cares about taking care of you.

25:52Take care. The system was never broken. It was built this way. People keep asking me why the system feels rigged. Let me be blunt. It isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed. Designed by the rich, for the rich, to keep everyone else locked outside the room where the real money is made. It starts in school.
