<p>[QUOTE=&quot;74Teen, post: 1646263, member: 44241&quot;]To put it in perspective, has anyone looked at the relationship between say, gasoline and silver? I am old enough to remember when change was referred to as &#039;silver&#039;, well, because it was. Back then, it wasn&#039;t unusual to be able to buy a gallon of gas for 19.9 cents, or, two silver dimes. Right now, at melt, approximately how many of those silver dimes does it take to buy a gallon of gas?</p><p><br /></p><p>Has the actual <i>value </i>of the silver changed, or is a currency based on, uh, faith in the government or whatever, a little too volatile to have any consistency of value?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
