>>853121 This is smoking hot stuff. Similar to Hugo Salinas Price's proposed Mexican silver peso format, which would not stamp a value on the coin during the transitional period from fiat to metal coinage. The coin is worth the quoted spot metal price in paper currency if you want to sell it. But during price fluctuations, the price can never go down. Only up. This encourages the common people to use the metal coins. No contest, the metal wins.
