Facinating History Of Gold In The US
For thousands of years, gold has been traded and used as a method of barter. Today, our current method of barter is paper and digital currency. Up until 1971, the US dollar was backed by gold, that meant that every dollar loaned out had a specific amount of gold in reserves. The problem with the US economy was that it was importing more than it was exporting causing the US to go bankrupt. President Nixon had a private meeting on Jeckly Island in which he took the US dollar off of the gold standard so that the Federal Reserve could print more money than the amount of gold we had in reserves. After 1971, we were able to print money that was backed by nothing more than the faith in our government. Since the dollar was the worlds reserve currency, we could pay other countries with our "funny money". This led to the biggest boom in the history of the US. Credit card companies began entering the market and loaning money that they did not have, as did banks and mortgage companies. Over time, it got worse and worse. It began with the fractional reserve banking system that allowed banks to loan out 12 times as much money as they had in reserves. Eventually, it went up to 40:1. Then, many financial service companies began using financial derivatives to loan money that was backed by debt and giving them exotic names with 3 letter acronmys such as Collatorized Debt Obligations (CDO"s), Credit Default Swaps (CDS"s) and many more. They were just ways for these companies to print money out of thin air by backing loans with toxic debt.
Many investors have began buying gold and silver as a hedge against inflation. Since the US came off the gold standard in 1971, gold has gone up in value from about $20 an ounce to hundreds of dollars an ounce. When the economy began spiraling down, deflation began rearing its head and caused the prices of homes, gas and other commodities to decrease in value and slowed down consumer spending. The Federal Reserve used inflation to combat against deflation which lowers the buying power of cash and slows down the economy. The recent high level of inflation has caused investors to buy gold at very fast rates which in turn drove its value to its current market price. That is why we are able to pay such a high rate for a commodity that was only $20 an ounce before 1971. This is true for all other precious metals as well.

Yvette, Fort Worth TX
I am a single mum and raising my daughter is really hard. My parents had left me some gold and jewelry, and the local pawn shops were not offering me anything. I read about Golden Leprechaun, and decided to send my gold. I was amazed at the money I was able to get, and wouldn’t be worried about my daughter for a while.
