Fiat currency has no value. It is an IOU.

That's funny too! I just bought some food with my fiat money. It must have some value after all. I bet I could even buy gold with fiat money. My fiat money must be really valuable if I can get people to give me that valuable gold for it!!!

ROFL!!!
Fiat money has collapsed many times in history. Gold never has. Money is a measurement of labor. You have to do more labor for those fiat dollars than I do for gold. You can trade me your five hours of labor for my one hour any day!
