News Date: August 4, 2020

Look at the date of the closing of the mint. This announcement was for public tours but when banks tried to order coins - they have been told the mint is closed.
View of new 2020 $1 coins being minted:
They don't look like anything we've seen before. These coins started in 2018 ... could this be in preparation for NESARA?
Think about this - paper money is easy to reprint, but coinage has to be minted... could it be that the mint was closed to re-tool and prepare to mint new coinage? Could it be that coins have been short due to the need for the metal to re-produce coinage?
There is a lot of stuff being blamed on the Virus - is the coin shortage really due to COVID??

UN Urges Debt Relief for Developing Nations

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) warns that the debt crisis in developing nations has reached unprecedented levels, with debt servicing consuming an increasing share of national revenues at the expense of development.
A new policy brief, released ahead of the G20 finance ministers meeting in Cape Town, highlights that 56 developing countries now spend over 10% of their revenue on interest payments, with 17 exceeding 20%, heightening default risks.
Total external public debt for the 31 poorest nations at risk of debt distress is estimated at $205 billion, while global debt servicing reached a record $1.4 trillion in 2023.
UNDP urges immediate reforms, including a more effective debt restructuring framework, systemic relief initiatives, and reduced borrowing costs to prevent a lost decade of development.
The upcoming Financing for Development conference in June will be a key platform for addressing these urgent issues.
