Great post, Kathy.  Education like this is not taught in schools.  I haven't watched the movie, but until recently I never had the slightest concept of what the “gold standard” was (I was born in 1979) and how our currency system really worked.  It's pretty scary to think that our entire system is built upon basically, nothing but a promise to pay.

Interesting that our curriculum never talks about this in school.  It should be taught to everyone.
