Why do you persist in ignoring the general sense I mean things, and 
exaggerating your own point by, well, pointing out something so 
pointless. Yeah, it would be worthless to try, but... guess what! No one 
that has any of those is going to be able to *get* the gold, silver, or 
what ever they where valued to anyway, so its meaningless to suggest 
that "backing" currency with something the banks will simply refuse to 
give back to you, if they stop printing/accepting the bills, means its 
somehow "more" trustworthy than something backed by just a promise of 
value. In the end, if the country collapsed, and they stop accepting 
your money, its not going to matter if you have 500 pounds of gold, or 
500 pounds of pocket lint in the bank, or just a bit of paper saying, 
"You have $500 in the account", in the end, you still got jack when the 
bank stops accepting the bit of paper its on. Why don't you get this?

It doesn't matter what is "behind" the money, because if they stop 
accepting the money, no matter what is behind it, ****you****, at that 
point, don't have anything anyway.
