The "gold is limited" and "there isn't enough gold to make a gold standard work" complaints are completely off base.

Until 1933, U.S. money WAS gold and silver. A twenty-dollar gold coin contained an ounce of gold (minus a small amount -- the seigniorage -- that paid for the minting, and which we will ignore here. The important point is: the gold amount was fixed). You could slap a $20 bill down on the counter at a bank or a hardware store and get a one-ounce $20 gold coin (or change) in return.

Yes. $20 = one ounce of gold. That's why prices back then (five cents for a loaf of bread, for instance) look so ridiculously tiny to us today. Our money has been ground to dust in the course of shifting wealth to the Cabal.

When Henry Ford doubled his production-line workers' pay to $5 /day, he was literally paying them a quarter-ounce of gold, which as I write this would equal $467/day per the gold price at 321gold. Yes, even with the suppression of gold prices, the inflation / destruction of the dollar by Federal Reserve counterfeiting is obvious and breath-taking.

For the most part, gold was for savings and large purchases and silver was used for everyday commerce by individuals.

The fact (and it IS a fact, if a rather elastic one) that "gold is limited in supply" is one of the characteristics that makes it PERFECT for money: the government cannot just print it up out of thin air to pay for war, for ever-more regulation and tyranny, to transfer the nation's wealth to connected industrialists and so on.

If America goes back on an actual gold standard (there are different ways to do so -- another discussion entirely) the New Dollar will have a lot more value than dollars do now, OR the dollar will contain / correlate with a lot less gold (but a defined and unchanging amount).

It'll be interesting to see what the details turn out to be.
