It used to be you could get one $20 gold coin in exchange for 20 $1 silver coins. Each coin weighed about the same and had about the same percentage of precious metal. So the rough ratio between gold and silver was 20 to 1. Now it is closer to 100 to 1. Why has the ratio changed so much? Gold is valued as a quasi-currency more than silver by those looking to get out of paper-based “assets”, but is that reason enough to account for a 500% departure from the traditional ratio?
