<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1577001, member: 27832&quot;]If your only definition of &quot;worth&quot; is &quot;redeemable for the asset it represented, <i>through official government agencies</i>&quot;, then this statement is true, but circular at best.</p><p><br /></p><p>After 1968, a silver certificate was still worth its nominal face value, and could still be used to buy silver. It could buy <i>less</i> silver, but not <i>that</i> much less -- even at the peak of the 1980 silver cornering attempt, it still &quot;held several percent of its original value&quot; (thinking in terms of silver equivalency), it regained nearly all of its losses in the few years following, and it retained a relatively stable silver-referenced value all through the 1990&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Paper dollars did not &quot;become worthless&quot; in 1968. They still haven&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
