Private individuals coin gold and silver, for example, to honor some event or something. An example is the Philharmonic coin, in gold or silver, to honor the Philharmonic Orchestra. It was coined by that orchestra. The U.S. govern can also coin money in gold or silver. They can print paper notes representing gold or silver as well, just as any bank can (and used to, until the creation of the Fed took that away). Presenting such a note to the bank was a withdrawal, in gold or silver, your choice, from your deposits. Banks would issue you such a note when you made the deposit. People would even trade just the notes, knowing, the gold they represented at that bank would be theirs now as a result, like a withdrawal and deposit without actually making the transaction at the bank. Banks used to issue their own notes. If you deposit that note in another bank, then one bank pays the other in gold (or silver) to complete the transaction. Clearing houses were set up to facilitate these kind of interbank transactions. One of the functions of the Fed is to also act as a clearing house. Today, the same kind of thing happens with fiat money, except you can't get gold or silver from presenting such a note at the bank anymore. Nor can you get it from the federal government. Money today is mostly just bits in a computer. Paper notes (cash) are still around, but have been relegated to smaller transactions. Everything else is just bits. There is no inherent commodity they are attached to for value. They are fiat money. The Parrot Killer Debunked in my sig. - tmiddles Google keeps track of paranoid talk and i'm not on their list.

keepit wrote: No, that would be YOU. Gold is used industrially. It is an excellent conductor and it does not tarnish. It can be drawn into extremely fine wire, due to it's ductility. I can be plated on circuit connectors to protect them from corrosion and to reduce voltage drop across the connection. It can be made into a thin foil that is very effective against several types of radiation. Gold is used as a decorative item. Statues, monuments, and plaques of often covered in gold leaf. It is possible to use leaf that is extremely thin, again due to it's ductility. Gold is used in jewelry. It is usually plated on or mixed with a stronger metal to give that jewelry strength (gold by itself has weak tensile strength). Gold is used as a currency. Iran is the only nation using gold as it's currency. They did this to escape the screws the U.S. was putting on their banks It was successful. They sell oil for gold now. Several nations and other organizations coin gold. The U.S. coins American Eagles. This coin has a specified purity and weight that is easy to measure using simple tools. Counterfeits are easily detected with these tools. Africa, Canada (the maple leaf coin is a beautiful design), and even organizations like the Austrian Philharmonic have coined gold. Gold is not hoarded any more than any other money is hoarded. It is bought and sold regularly. People buy and keep gold because it DOES have inherent value, and it's price has been going up consistently (compared to fiat currencies, which are actually falling).

From the Bank of England's 2014 Q1 Quarterly Bulletin: "Just as taking out a new loan creates money, the repayment of bank loans destroys money. For example, suppose a consumer has spent money in the supermarket throughout the month by using a credit card. Each purchase made using the credit card will have increased the outstanding loans on the consumer's balance sheet and the deposits on the supermarket's balance sheet. ... If the consumer were then to pay their credit card bill in full at the end of the month, its bank would reduce the amount of deposits in the consumer's account by the value of the credit card bill, thus destroying all of the newly created money." Economics Stack Exchange "when banks lend out money, that money is created out of thin air by a accounting journal entry, and the money supply goes up by the amount of the loan & when the loan gets paid off, that money disappears back into thin air and the money supply goes back down which is often also described as "destroying the money"" |
