You would have to revalue the FRN$'s outstanding to the amount of gold available. Depending upon which measure that you use, gold would have to be anywhere from a low of $7500/oz to $35,000/oz.

It would also depend upon whether the US HAS any gold left, or if it has all been sold, leased or swapped into the market to prop up the illusion of value that is the FRN$. There is ample evidence that our gold stocks have been severely depleted in these activities.

I have a bet with isaac that the US will return to some form of metals standard within the next three years. There really is no other option, regardless of what paperbugs tell you.

Paperbugs have a gullability that exceeds belief. IOW, they have faith in the promises of politicians, and in the charity of bankers, even though the historical record on both is very clear. They deserve to have their pockets picked and lose everything for which they've worked.
