You do understand that before the US ran on"Federal Reserve Notes" (the biggest illusion in American history) we used GOLD and SILVER as currency. The bank note was just a promise to pay someone in GOLD or SILVER (sortof like writing a check in today's world). The current dollar bill is just a piece of debt. There is nothing tangible backing it... like GOLD or SILVER. But you’re right Detecto, the Founding Fathers were fools to think that gold and silver was worth something, like the Romans, Egyptians, Syrians and the rest of humanity before them.
