pretty neat
"The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent." John Kenneth Galbraith 1975

I don't know what your source is, but I would love to see this same graph with silver grams.

Actually, that's old. This is better. Check the lower right section of the page.

This caught my eye:

"That’s because for the last 40 years – since Nixon canceled the dollar’s gold convertibility in 1971 – the global monetary system has been based on nothing more tangible than politicians' promises not to print too much."

We were on fractional reserves before that. Each generation of politicians felt free to break the implicit promise made by those before to not bury the reserves under "excessive" paper promises. Nixon was just the honest one. (Less dishonest?)
