The very definition of money is that it must be capable of being spent and you cannot spend gold &amp; silver. Try to pay your electric bill or your mortgage with Silver Eagles - you can&#039;t. Therefore it is not money.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, you are wrong. Gold and silver have not always been used as money. In point of fact their use as money was a fairly recent development in human history. And it was one that was discarded because it didn&#039;t work anymore , couldn&#039;t work anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for intrinsic value - everything on the planet has intrinsic value. Even plain old dirt has intrinsic value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps, but what you are speaking of is in the future, it is not now. And now, right now, we still need those cents and nickels in order for commerce to function. Plain fact.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now all you are doing is spouting politics, and we don&#039;t discuss politics here.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, you aren&#039;t informed - you&#039;re merely biased. And because of that bias you are unable to see the truth that is right in front of you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
