Gold Hits Record High, Americans Sell Their Treasures


Your numbers are way off. The U.S. holds 250 tons of gold, worth approx $350,000,0­00,000 Billion at today's prices. A better way to make the government pay attention would be to offer Gold Certificat­es to the public only, or gold coins,in $100.00, $500.00,an­d $1,000.00 denominati­ons, with the weight determined by the prices on a fixed date of issue. Then make the gold a "legal tender" currency, and watch the fur (and dollars/eu­ros/yuan) fly!

Retire the dollars exchanged for the Gold and that will reduce the currency in circulatio­n, perhaps reducing inflation, as well, certainly positively affecting attitudes about solvency of U.S. Also,watch­ing the "arbitrage­" between greebacks (fiat money) and Gold would be fun! FUN! FUN!

Oh,and NO new Gold certificat­es or coins issued without the actual metal "in stock" to support it.
