never said the farmer was stupid. i'm the stupid one because i've always heard that gold/silver go up and down on a daily basis and the price of an ounce would differ. how would I and the farmer know the value of it on the day of trade was what i was asking.
and how do you know the gold/silver you are holding in your hand is even real?
The dollers in you pocket go up and down in value on a daily bases. As do all commodities and money.
When you go to the hardware store and buy some copper wire the price of copper is changing every second. Does the price you pay change?
Take some silver coins in one hand and drop them in the other, the sound they make is unique to silver. Copper coins have a complete different tone. I can tell the difference you can also get an app to put on your phone, if you are tone deff. Their are also simple chemical test you can do.
People have been exchanging real money for thousands of years, it not that hard to do.
