The Federal Reserve

[??????????]

Why not back the money with Platinum instead of gold? It is far more valuable and you can ACTUALLY put together trillions in Platinum.

Why would Platinum be better? I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea, but gold iand silver are the traditional standards for currency. Platinum is going for about $830 per ounce right now and gold is about $440. Whats the advantage?

I stated Platinum for the fact it's worth more and has a higher demand. And someone said earlier "You just can't dig 4 trillion dollars in gold out of the ground". I'm sure you can dig that much in Platinum.

I want to abolish the Fed as much as everyone else, but creating money out of thin air is necessary to keep up with the number of goods and services. Or else the value of the currency would go up over time.

That's the most hilarious thing I've ever read.
