Henry, >>It is my view, which I'm sure some will take issue with <g>, that as capital controls have been removed the free market has developed into a very active policeman against currency debasement.<< What about the scenario where one country is trying to run a "very" loose monetary policy (like Japan) and that causes money and savings to flow to other countries (like the U.S.) where money is just "less" loose? It seems to me that another role of gold was to place limits on credit creation and credit excesses. I would have no problem with freely floating fiat currencies if central bankers weren't constantly abusing the system and causing all sorts of potential excesses. Wayne
