Here is some real money, you know the kind backed by gold.

The page wouldn't load right for me. I only got to look at the first one.

I don't know if we need to go all the way back to metal-backed currency, but I do wish the Fed would quit lowering the interest rate and printing money like fools.

Hatterasguy,

We're finding "Down Heah" THESE are almost worth their 1863 value again,
especially when compared to the trash the Federal Reserve(s) are putting out.

So,(mumble,mumble...) Ten Dollars in Confederate gold [in 1863] is worth how
much of that U.S.toilet-paper that's being printed now?

US money hasn't been backed by gold since Pres. Nixon took us off the gold standard in 1971.

Yes
 
wbain5280,

My point exactly!
