something with actual worth, precious metal..

Actually, only 68 cents of each RP dollar is backed with precious metal.

The other 32 cents are backed by the full faith and credit of a one dude running a website out of a storefront in Evansville, Indiana.

The US Mint sells a ONE DOLLAR coin with one ounce of silver for $30. So is 133% of each RP dollar backed with precious metal?

There are cost to making and managing such an endevour and because it is backed with precious metal in a few years it will be worth far more than 68cents..

The original liberty 10 dollar coin had 7$ worth of precious metal backing it, now the 10 dollar coin has 14$(USD) backing it..
