<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Revi, post: 1858960, member: 42843&quot;]Gold and silver work when nobody trusts anything else.&nbsp; You have to remember that the world was like that until recently.&nbsp; After the revolution there was a phrase &quot;not worth a continental&quot; which disparaged the continental currency.&nbsp; The back of every one said that it was payable in gold and silver.&nbsp; Even that promise wasn&#039;t worth anything.&nbsp; The money we use now isn&#039;t payable in anything.&nbsp; I suppose you can still get 20 nickels, and they are worth about a buck.&nbsp; That may be what holds it&#039;s value up.&nbsp;&nbsp; People will only trade things of value for other things of value.&nbsp; They may not know it, but the value of a currency is held up with real things, or the value falls.&nbsp;&nbsp; Right now we are in a fiat trance, but when it wears off people will want something of value again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
