In the United States neither paper currency nor deposits have value as commodities. Intrinsically, a dollar bill is just a piece of paper.

And intrinsically, gold is just a heavy yelowish metal that looks pretty, conducts electricity well, and is much to soft to make tools from. So what?

Isn't value, in the end, a human construction?

It takes 2 supernovas to get gold distrubution found on this planet.

Its a good deal harder to fake than paper. That is its only value. I think uranium futures would work nicely as well.

I would argue for a repeal of legal tender/forced tender laws. There is no need threaten people with violence over their choice of currency.

Nor is there any reason to force gold upon people.
