If you have a 'cross of gold' and don't want it, I'll buy it from you at the going rate based upon weight of gold bullion. <br>

True, the Federal Reserve is a private contractor, but you wouldn't know that by the way our government respects Bernanke and his foolish Keynesianism.

      <![CDATA[I suppose I should have said, rather than true currency, is that the only thing that gives any currency value is Labor. It doesn't matter if it's gold bullion, chicken eggs, or big round rocks - as long as people are willing to trade it, it's currency.

      <![CDATA[Jeff, I would argue true currency would include goods as well as services. I'll trade my eggs for your tomatoes, i.e. In fact, we might be better off with a tomato standard than with gold, which is, as you point out, essentially worthless.

      <![CDATA[But CHG, the value of gold and silver are determined exactly the same way as the value of fiat paper money. All currency is a social contract based on the only thing of true value, that is, the only true currency, which is Labor.<br>
<br>
As a sovereign citizen advocating for a return to the gold standard, you of all people should know that the state doesn't create any money, paper or otherwise.
