Hi Zim!
The problem I have with GOLD as a currency and in the form of a coin, is how do I get change back when paying for something? AND, who all is going to accept a gold coin for payment?
I think gold is good for some things but NOT as a currency.
It could BACK a currency as long as the backing is certifiably done by independent auditors not beholden to the Gubmint... Or any of its assasin organizations..
