Why Gold and Silver Will Be the Next Currency

In the currency game, only one player has dominated throughout the course of history: precious metals.   Over time, fiat currencies lose their worth, as governments inflate the paper through printing and confidence is lost with each recession.  This phenomenon was proven in the United States with the Continental currency, which was rapidly inflated to pay for the revolutionary war.  Thereafter, the inflated Continental dollar was replaced with hard metals, which retained and actually grew in value from 1774 to the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913.
