Report of Provo Rotary Meeting Held February 20, 2014

| Glen Zaugg conducts the meeting |
Todays meeting was conducted by President Glen Zaugg with Ron Roberts playing the piano and Jill Moon leading the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. The opening prayer was offered by Les Smith. There were no guests today.
Pete Pletsch talked about tax deductability of donations to the Club. Contributions sent by the Club to Rotary International result in a receipt being sent from Rotary International to the Club members. The Club has not traditionally sent donation statements like Rotary International for contributions to the Provo Rotary Foundation or for regular Club dues. However, Pete will issue a receipt to any member wishing such a receipt. That would be in the form of the quarterly invoice marked paid, as generated from the Club's Quickbooks accounting program. If anyone has questions, please email, Club Executive Director, Pete Pletsch at petepletsch@gmail.com.

| Danny Prager introduces speaker |
Danny Prager introduced todays speaker, Brian Rust, President and owner of Rust Coins. Brian talked about his business and collecting coins and money. He said that money's value to a collector is based on how many of the item were made and what condition it is in.
He also talked about investing in gold, silver and other precious metals. He talked about investing in metals as a hedge against market declines. Those who were invested in this area did very well in the recent market declines.
He showed a number of interesting examples of rare money. The Silver Certificate and the $100,000 bill shown below are just examples. The Gold Bar shown below is an example of precious metals, available for investing.
It was a very interesting discussion, about something we all would like to have more of - money.
