Ron -

[...Btw, if we ever did return to a metal backed currency, I would certainly not favor gold simple because its rarity is out of proportion to the world's ability to grow economically...]

If you were to worry about gold as a currency, it should be a worry about a high rate of increase of quantity, not its scarcity. Any amount of gold will support any growth rate of an economy, with its value in goods-exchange automatically adjusting as required.

Regards, Don
