Instead, almost all countries of the world now have currency backed by the future labor of its citizens.
Power is not gained by how much "money" one has. Power is gained by how much control one has over the future labor of others.
JFK issued EO 11110 on June 4, 1963.
He was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963.
You can also reference in history what happened to Abraham Lincoln when attempting to have greenbacks issued.
As an aside - Iraq and Afghanistan both had currency based on completed labor, prior to the US invasion. Their money supply was switched over the debt-based once control was established.
