after hearing ron paul whine and moan about this forever I finally got around to looking it up and found that no nation currently follows this system. I also saw that its been like half a century since any has. I looked for the ron paul thread but couldnt find it, I wanted to put this in there but oh well. Also, there is more american currency than gold available in the world. I assume that our dollars have inflated for other reasons than not having a gold standard. I understand the reasoning behind it but it doesnt seem feasible in this day and age. What the heck is ron paul thinking?
