Hate to burst your bubble, but I do not believe the US of A has been on the gold standard for some time. If you check the bills in your pocket, you will find that they are "FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES" and are "Legal tender for all debts public and private". In other words, not worth the paper they are printed on, EXCEPT as a legally accepted medium of transfer of wealth. I use a Debit/Credit card and check my account online almost daily.

Whatever toots your horn...
