The gold and the promise of delivery of the gold is what made the hundred dollar bill of 1963 worth something.

The US notes were taken off the gold standard in 1934.

Right, technically, for Americans, and for foreigners by Nixon. Sorry for the sloppy post but I was hoping to push a larger point with limited time that no one seems to care about. I always hope out of 100 people like you who seem to love copper quarters, irredeemable paper money, large national debts, my post might be interesting to one or two lurkers. Thanks for the exchange.
