Very interesting.
Silver Monometalism is the most permanent and stable form of money the world has seen. Natural law and history prove silver value is best multiplied by gold and best divided by copper. It is only in this counterfeit currency time when the natural law appears suspended.

Nice visualizations, but the math has to be off somehow. In the B2 Bomber section, it says the bomber is worth $2,130,000,000, or 33.14 tonnes of gold, which, if you do the math, meshes with 1 tonne being worth about $64 million and change as mentioned farther up the page. Then you go to the next part of the graphic, and it says the USA has 8133.5 tonnes in reserve, worth 11 billion. But 8133.5 tonnes times 64 million dollars per tonne is $520.5 billion.

Am I screwing something up here? Might be a "tons vs tonnes" thing?

All the worth of the gold in Fort Knox is about $20... the 1mil coating on the tungsten core bricks. :sick:

The US values its gold at $45/oz. Really.
