<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1248617, member: 29012&quot;]I agree with everything you&#039;ve stated here, but the one area where gold falls short is liquidity. It&#039;s one thing if it&#039;s a gold backed currency, but to use gold itself as currency at today&#039;s prices is not very feasible. You aren&#039;t going to want to drop hundreds of dollars worth every time you have to make a transaction just because you don&#039;t want to cut your coin in half. Silver may tarnish, but it doesn&#039;t corrode, so the intrinsic base value of the metal remains intact. They both have their strengths and weaknesses, and I don&#039;t think that gold being the best monetary metal prevents silver from picking up the slack, especially considering that 4.5 of your 6 points apply just as well to silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
