Good article. As I was reading it, I started to remember that Greenspan used to be pro-gold. Then I looked at the date ;)

Since gold is the only Constitutionally-authorized money, it should be returned to ASAP.

I started this thread because of what was happening here. The poster had a good idea, but he didn't get his point across, because he was basically advertising a product on FR.

Maybe we can discuss it here.

Since gold is the only Constitutionally-authorized money

I don't think the Constitution specifically mentions gold. However, the word "dollar" is mentioned twice, and it thus refers to the dollar in common circulation at the time, i.e., the Spanish milled silver dollar (which was later specifically defined by the Coinage Act of 1792 to be precicely 371.25 grains of silver in weight).
