A man said once that one could buy a good suit/toga during Roman times for about an ounce of gold. In 2001 when gold was about $300.00 an ounce, one could buy a nice suit for about $300.00, you know the whole ensemble. In 2008 the price of an ounce of gold when up to about $1200.00 +/- $100.00 but a suit would now cost about 1 ounce of gold.
Not the brightest knife in the shed but I would consider that this bank note fluctuates around the price of gold...or the manipulation of everything is so extreme that gold and silver would help when the thing hits the fan.
