Sounds like we should still be using gold and silver backed currency and not this fiat crap. I don’t recall Article 1 Section 10 being repealed.

No state can make anything but gold and silver legal tender; Congress can. No state can impair the obligation of contracts; Congress can (otherwise, all federal bankruptcy law would be unconstitutional).

Is it your contention that the framers were cool with paper money?

Hint: Not a fv&$ing chance. They had just went through a period of ruinous hyperinflation due to printed money and knew exactly the problems and temptations involved.
