Nope this was in 1975.

#6  The problm with Gold today is it's grossly overpriced to buy, and worth near nothing when you sell, there's no government mandated Standard anymore. I remember when you could go to any bank, give them a dollar and get a small glass bottle full of 99.9% silve granules, Can't now.

THAT was the Standard.

#5  $2T in today's dollars. Unbacked currency is only as valuable as peoples' confidence in it.
