Honestly, stekim, your posts is loaded with fallacies, starting with an appeal to authority...

What authority did I appeal to? I didn't even mention anyone in my post!

Just start issuing gold and silver backed United States Notes as JFK did. And repeal the legal tender laws. Give people the freedom to choose what they want to use as money.

You are free to use anything you like now. You can pay your barber in hens, dollars, gold, coffee or buttons. And no one will stop you. And your barber is free to take hens, dollars, gold, coffee or buttons. Nothing stops him from doing that.
Issuing gold backed notes creates two problems: First, gold has no inherent value, either. It's metal. Money is paper. So what? Second, there is a finite amount of gold, so anytime you need to expand the money supply (like, you know, to grow the economy), you need more gold.
