Gold is not necesary. I have no interest in gold. We will build a solid state, without an ounce of gold behind it. Anyone who sells above the set prices, let him be marched off to a concentration camp. That's the bastion of money.

-Adolph Hitler

I suppose you could say Hitler's Germany was on the Lead Standard. Much like Mao saying, "Political power grows from the barrel of a gun."

[cripplecreek]

Hitler was lying. He needed gold, other people’s gold and when there were no more German’s to strip of their wealth they had to move on to the next country.
