What's the Difference Between Gold and Silver?

The idea is that you want something that is hard to degrade. Cold and silver was a good one because it was scarce, so you can't have too many gold coins or silver coins going ed. Ah, if to day i was just going to use paper, i could just sit on my computer and print pieces of paper. That's why we ave anti counterfeiting laws and things like that. And that's why central banks are trying to discourage people now from using paper money.
