<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1295717, member: 3011&quot;]Good points.&nbsp; In most cases, sellers probably don&#039;t have what buyers want, so money becomes the medium of exchange even if it is gold.&nbsp; The most likely reason why Qaddafi/Gadaffi wanted gold instead of money is that he had no intention of sharing the wealth or using the gold dinar to improve Africa.&nbsp; Just the opposite.&nbsp; He knew that he had oil and many other countries in Africa have gold resources, and he wanted the gold.&nbsp; The man was completely mad, if you ever listen to him talk for any length of time, and it is fairly certain that he just wanted a mountain of shiny metal in the palace to look at.&nbsp; Paper money or its electronic equivalent has no such value and only becomes useful in commerce.&nbsp; And that&#039;s not what the mad one wanted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
