Let us review:
Back when gold and silver were used as currency the ratio was 20 to 1 silver to gold.
Today the ratio stands at 600 to 1.
until recently, the ratio had been bobbling around 40:1 going back to roman times.
roman soldiers would make 1 gold coin per week which would support their family for the week.
that gold coin would turn into 40 silver... which is where the 40 hr work week came from
