It dawned on me some time ago the ridiculousness of currency. Everyone agrees that little slips of paper have value simply because they have a certain image and number printed on them. I understand that for every American dollar there is supposed to be some amount of gold in old Fort Knox, and that other countries as well must have some system of backing their paper monies and coins, but I don’t buy it 100{a9f0d31f6175b3e4775e11a66c07db268fb74408d6095f6b46eeec420c0e9f62}. It’s not like I’m trading you a sheep for ten planks of wood or something, two tangibles being exchanged with values set on them only by the people involved in the transaction.
Way over here in America, some other people have decidedly got the same inkling, and they’ve started their own money. Now let’s all see if the Liberty Dollar works out.
