<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 155315, member: 112&quot;]If I offered to give you 8 -&nbsp; $100 bills for every oz of gold you had would you take it ? It&#039;s just worthless paper with pretty colors on it. I&#039;m not being a wise guy - I&#039;m just making a point. Of course you&#039;d take it, because we assign a value to that gold that is only slightly over 6 - $100 bills at the present time. </p><p><br /></p><p>But if you look back over history all kinds of things have had value or were used as money - accepted as money or as having a given value by the people of the place and time. And it wasn&#039;t always gold &amp; silver. It&#039;s been rocks, sea shells, animal hides, animals themselves, flint - you name it and it&#039;s probably been used as money. And in every case it&#039;s been used as money because the people accepted it as such.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>To answer your question - no.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
