Here you have 20$ in Silver (40 half dollars), 20$ in Gold (one 1878 Double Eagle) and 20$ in ANDREW JACKSON!
If Andrew Jackson was alive to see his own face on a federal reserve note he would shoot Ben Bernanke. AND LITTLE TIMMY TOO!
Fun thing to note though is that the gold coin was minted exactly 100 years before I was born. Its not just gold, its a bit with that coin too i would reckon.

Cool as it is, there are actually some problems though with the idea of a gold standard, mostly relating to the fact that capitalism is built around continued growth, and as such you need at least a little inflation so you do not literally run out of money, which happened a few times in the 1800s, where there literally was not as much gold currency as would cover the value of the goods and services in the market and caused a few major economic problems. High inflation is bad, but so is zero, a low, slow amount is actually a necessity
Much better then what is happening now with the value of the currency being worth nothing more then what the politicians say it is. Sorry to say, but gold dug out from the ground will always be worth more then mere words and empty promises spiced with platitudes. The dollar is dead and so is the Euro. None of those can be saved since its all beond the point of no return for them both. But in the end that will be for the best. The US learned a valuable lesson and rose to glory after DC was burned to ashes. Sometimes you sorta need a kick to the head to get things rolling the right way again. After all things turned out pretty well after the civil war... Given enough time and effort.

Nah, he'd just beat the snot out of them with his walking stick, like he did that one would-be assassin. Sticks don't need to be reloaded after every hit, unlike pistols of his day (I can't picture him cottoning too much to modern firearms for the job, for some reason).
