One basic problem with gold/silver currency for governments is that the wealth becomes detached from any national government or its policies; crossing borders with those metals makes you wealthy in any country.

One major problem with gold and silver as money is today is too easy to fake.
People buy that ‘gold’ from ‘Rosland Capital’, pay someone else to store it, and when they go to sell it find out that some is fake.
Good luck getting the people hawking the ‘gold’ to stand behind the product.

I'm as much in favor of the nation-state as anyone, but I don't think people should be hostage to a particular government's currency manipulation.
