> Mint them from silver, back them with gold and you’ll have my attention.

That actually sounds like a good combination. Though it could get kind of weird if the prices got near each other. (IE the intrinsic value of the silver outsripping the amount of Gold it represents.)

This article sounds like another “Staged Moon Landing” article, denying the reality...using the usual “conspiracy theory” tag

The Amero has been discussed in the meetings organizing the North American Union. Also, the Amero has been brought up in Senate meetings and hearings.

Will it come to fruition? Not sure....since those who push it will be labeled Anti-American (an rightfully so) for inifinity. Also, the dollar still has some stature in the world (as some have already pointed out)

Sounds like another Nutty Globalist piece...denying something that has already been documented as happening

IF (huge IF) they would do this, anyone who could add could retire in very short order. This would allow replication of the old gold-silver arbitrage of the post-Civil War period.

Of course, given the last 20 years' product of the pulbic skrewls system, I suppose the arbitrage would be largely limited to older people.

HEY! I'm an older people! Do it, do it! (heh heh heh)
