People who talk about silver dollars
being fat money, do not stop to think,
or do not know, that all money is fiat.
Money is the result of legislation, and
all legislation is fiat. Who said that
22.2S grains of gold should be called a
dollar? Congress? How did Congress
arrive at that conclusion? BY mere
speculation. Value is theory, and
any legislative regulative regulation of
it is fiat. Money is not used at all in
settling foreign trade balances. When
drafts and checks are not used, gold is
used, aud the amount is determined by
weight.
