The failing currency value instead of failing of civilisations should be the topic here, but I have to agree that some civilisations failure was caused by gold, Incas and Mayas with paper currency would hardly become target of plunder.  Examples of failing paper currency value is endless, the best known 1.famous Weimar Republic 1919 the gold standard was suspended, 4 mark/1us dollar, by 1922 800marks/us dollar 2.Argentina  1 peso in 1992 = value of 100 000 000 000 pesos of 1983 3.Zimbawe in 2008 inflation in  (one month) of November 7.96 billion percent. Examples of lost value caused by printing are many and I still have to see one where currency drop was caused by too much gold in the vault.

In your previous post you write the following and I have to disagree again:

"In my opinion the government wouldn’t shy to confiscate bank deposits to get to your gold, it can just declare illegal to be holding gold, happened before".   Here is the link:

Concerning your solution: “the government can just nationalize the mineral resources by having the ground which holds them declared National Parkland”.... That was here before and didn’t turn out great.... remember Soviet Union?
