Name me even ONE legal currency in the entire WORLD that has more credibility than the US dollar - and back it up with facts about the issuing countries deficit. The only one that comes even close would be Saudi Arabia's rial- and if you wish to hold those - go right ahead.

100% SCAM - A MAJOR FRAUD.
