tippet, Yes, it is important to diversify the assets in a basket of stable currencies that protect one from inflation and other instabilities. No country has bee able to hold a fiat currecny at elevated levels for too long. Gold is a currency that has proved itself as a reasonable hedge against inflation and disasters. It belongs in a portfolio of diversified assets particularly for people in emerging market countries
