How much does a loaf of bread cost in Zimbabwe? The answer is: .1 grams of gold (roughly $3 in terms of US FIAT). If all you have is Zimbabwe FIAT, good luck...
I read somewhere that in the time of nebachanezzer (sp?) that 1 oz of gold bought appr 300 loaves of bread, at current gold prices and decent bread at 3.00 a loaf, 1600 years later, it works out to roughly the same today. Any scip they used then, is worthless, just as our dollars will be in 1600 years.
The silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith the LORD of hosts. Hag 2:8 [/b] He created it. He controls it. He gave it to us for His use. Why did we turn from sound scriptural currency that PROTECTS us?

Amazing... Technology has made the human "work input" much, much less for acquiring both grain and gold, but the technology gains in both have been fairly equally. So the end result has been a fairly steady ratio between the two over the years.
