<p>[QUOTE=&quot;webstandardcss, post: 1993740, member: 72151&quot;]Historically, gold and money have been pretty much synonymous so pure Gold was immune from inflation. But that didn&#039;t stop currency inflation. In the early days kings discovered that they could &quot;extend&quot; their money supply by adding just a bit of lead to the melting pot.&nbsp; Unfortunately, as the percentage of lead increased the value of the coins decreased causing the first cases of inflation. (And also creating the habit of biting coins to see how soft they were and thus how much lead they contained).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
