<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 263800, member: 66"]Just revalue the US dollar like many countries have revalued theirs and chop off two zeros $100 would equal N$1 This makes gold N$6.50 per oz.

Bullion fluctuation would not be that much of a problem because it would have to rise to 2 1/2 times the current value to reach the face value of the coin.
