And how much might that be?? I’d feel sorry for anyone who had gold fillings in their teeth, they’d be targets.

What kind of paranoid type response is that?
Gold Fillings are an alloy which is partially gold, silver, copper and other metals. It costs more money to separate the metals than would be worth the effort.
The gold standard exists today and very few are ever killed for their fillings and that is usually an afterthought from ignorant criminals who don't realize that it is more effort than it is worth.
When we were taken off the gold standard was when we started having our monetary problems (Thank you President Roosevelt).
Gold lends itself to stability because it is a world wide commodity.

I’m jus’ sayin’. Paranoia got nothin to do with it. Do the math — If gold is revalued at eleventy zillion, that ain’t gonna work. Maybe there are less expensive alternatives for fillings? Gold isn’t “essential” in many industrial applications, although it has a few where it is about perfect. Platinum is used for catalysts, Silver is a better conductor of electricity, etc.
