<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1392572, member: 26302&quot;]Just a couple of points where I disagree sir. I am sure this disagreement leads us to differing opinions on things. Currency is in fact money. What is the primary definition of money? It is the &quot;thing&quot; in which goods and services are exchanged. What is the one thing that you pay for everything with? What do you get paid with? That will answer what is &quot;money&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the dollar losing 98% of its value, that is only nominally. Anyone holding cash under their mattress are simply doing it wrong. Put your cash in a government or corporate bond and how much did the dollar decline? None? The measure of the stablity of a currency is measured assuming the cash is placed in a safe bond. Trying to assume someone is so stupid as to put cash under a mattress is never a consideration. Put that same dollar from 100 years ago in a government bond and you do not see any loss of purchasing power sir. Its just another &quot;half truth&quot; people like to throw out there to scare people. I find the financial field full of them, not just talking about PM&#039;s, but everywhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
