Rue Brittania, or....?..........................from Rico

Rue Brittania, or rue Dollar?...let's just say rue FIAT.

Of 775 fiat currencies: 24% had to be monetarily reformed, 21% were destroyed by war, 20% failed from hyperinflation, 12% were ruined by independence...and the 23% still remaining are pendng one of the previously mentioned fates.

- Not a good track record.

The 'pound sterling' has done pretty well. With the average life of a fiat currency being only 27 years, founded in 1694 on a troy pound of sterling silver (British sterling is still 92.5% silver) it is the oldest currency (317 years) still in existence...possibly the exception proving the rule (even if it has lost 99.5% of its original value).

The Dollar is no pound sterling. In only 100 years it has lost 98% of its value.

- How long before it has to be reformed-revalued? It will be sooner rather than later, and it won't last another 217 years...
