<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1250549, member: 22143&quot;]Try looking at what I said in the context in which it was given.&nbsp; There was a claim made there were $50T worth of assets in the USA, but only $2T in currency.&nbsp;&nbsp; This was in response to that in that it is an impossible situation.&nbsp; Of course there are other ways to look at worth but are no longer talking about worth in terms of $.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On the comment about gold, try thinking about it outside of fiat terms.&nbsp;&nbsp; The currency IS the gold.&nbsp;&nbsp; Worth is then established in amounts of gold, not $ denomination.&nbsp; &nbsp; $ denomination and coinage is simply a convenient assay the gold is not counterfeit and in the amount specified.&nbsp;&nbsp; In the days when deals were settled in gold coin, it was just as valid to bring an equivalent amount of non-coined gold to settle the deal.
