<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mtsaz, post: 2920040, member: 89588&quot;]The devaluation of US currency is amazing.&nbsp; they say- &quot;in 1900 you could buy a tailor made mens suit for a US 20$ gold coin&quot; and this still holds true today.&nbsp; So, one 20$ gold eagle/St gaudins- -- common date 20$ coin sells for about 1500$- and thats about what an armani suit sells for (on sale) and about what a custom tailor charges to sew one for you.&nbsp; There are other comparisons like this that show how the value of a paper dollar (or clad coins) have dropped to a fraction of their original value since the gold standard was eliminated.&nbsp; If they re-instituted the gold standard, there would be a massive currency devaluation- I&#039;m not sure how that would all work---but I am sure there would be civil disobedience, (ie riots).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
