yet they still flock to the $us?, page-6

I think silver and some collectors coins though usually overvalued are some guarantee against a possible confiscation but that mostly concerns the US too. I mention used by dates on currency as I have my own little theory that deflation on a gold standard might mean gold confiscation, whereas with floating currencies in inflation the onus is confiscation of the currency, getting people to spend it and then destroying it... basically a hot potato Ponzi scheme.
