This is just a guess ok. If the world bank decidd to go to a world currency, then everything would be valued to that, maybe like the Euro. If not and we still had dollars but it was not the world benchmark like it is now, then our dollars would still be in use .they would not buy as much, it would be l the Mexican peso. Yeah it would take a truck load to buy anything. Like the Lire used to be. I agree this waiting around is not much fun, but there is more to fixing this stock than just the gold. They have to fix it and that is the nerve racking part. Go jogging, go have a beer, go golfing, go hiking while it is being fixed.
