No More Gold Pieces at Christmas Says Taggart
J H Taggart University of Kansas economics professor argues the old gold standard is fading in the United States and gold coins may never circulate again. He notes England adopted a gold bullion standard in 1925 with currencies kept at par via government redeemability in gold bullion. The system does not solve all monetary issues but requires less gold to back a currency while maintaining parity.
