As the price per ounce was a constant at $20.65 when the gold standard was put in place and only edged away from that position by $0.01 in all the years between 1833 until 1890. Meaning that for 57 years, when the Dollar was hinged to the gold standard, it moved with it by that $0.01 only. This was the original plan, written into the constitution by the founding fathers.

The constitution states that the currency of the country is to remain that way to maintain the Dollar and protect against what is exactly happening to the currency today.

From the years between 1891 and 1930, the price of gold per ounce remained relatively stable. The lowest it went was $20.58 and the greatest it reached was per ounce $21.32 and so, for a total of ninety seven years between 1833 and 1930, the price of gold only moved $.74 cents from high to low.

The price of gold hit an all time low during the depression year of 1931 since then the US slowly removed the Dollar from the gold standard until August 15th 1971; President Nixon announced that the US government would no longer redeem US currency for gold. This was the last step in departing from the gold standard. The demise of the Dollar can be seen since it was removed for the gold standard.

Keep in mind that the Dollar has historical value and therefore is extremely consistent, even though it looks as though the gold price is rising; it is really the Dollar that is falling. It has been as high as $1,030 per ounce, down to $830 per ounce.

So interestingly, if you wanted to buy a new car that cost $55,000 in 2008 and in gold, that would cost you roughly 60 ounces of gold at the spot price of $930 per ounce. So, if the Dollar was never removed from the gold standard and all the inflation that has occurred because of the removal from the gold standard, that same car today would only cost you $1,200. Remove the $1,200 from $55,000 and you get $53,800 which is how much inflation this $1,200 item has risen by over the last one hundred years.

The original Dollar value is roughly $.02 cents in today's money. It's astounding to realise how much the Dollar has dropped in value. I will try to explain further. In 1964, $.25 would buy you roughly a gallon of gas because a quarter in 1964 were made from 90% silver and 10% copper. Silver costing $17.20 per ounce makes the quarters value $3.11 and that quarter of 1964 can still give you a gallon of gas today. This shows that the value of gold and silver has hardly changed and that it's the currencies that are not tied to gold and silver that are fluctuating drastically.

This was the warning of the founding fathers and why they tied the Dollar to the gold and silver standard at the founding of the constitution. The over creating by the Federal Reserve of Dollars at their own behest is in reality another tax upon the American Citizens, it strips the dollar of what little value it has left in your pocket and in the long run continues to do so. While you are making roughly the same amount of money, the price of goods and services are going up but really, it's the value of the Dollar or any currency really, that's value is going down. My hope is that the issue has been made clearer to you and in order to see a change, we as individuals have the right to invest our money where we know it'll be secure, such as precious metals and also to take a stand against the goverments plans to bankrupt it's citizens as it keeps the Dollar detached from the gold standard.
