Loading ...I started college in 1959 when the US dollar was still a silver certificate , not a Federal Reserve Note .
I went to Penny’s to buy a pair of Levi’s .
The Levi’s were $3.00
I paid with a $10.00 bill.
The salesgirl asked if I wanted paper $ or 7 silver dollars , change , since they were interchangeable .
Three silver dollars today will likely buy TWO pairs of Levi’s , certainly at least one plus change.
I believe the day will come that twenty silver dollars will once again buy an ounce of gold as when , a hundred years ago , the USA issued gold certificates as Legal tender .
The Constitution mandates gold and silver as our money .
