I believe gold and silver would be worth a bunch more if the government didn't have a history of criminalizing the ownership of gold. And they got by with it (FDR in 1933). And right away devalued the federal reserve notes they used to redeem the outlawed gold.
Speaking of federal reserve notes, it won't belong before they are gone. Your only legal means of exchange will be an account that is accessed by moving balances around. Stand by.
