RE: Gold: Enemy of the State.
You've established why they sell it in the U.S., but not why other governments do so elsewhere.
The original question stands, if it is such a threat, why would they tolerate it?
@talltim There is a big difference between putting a country's currency on a gold standard and running a mint. Just because some governments mint gold and silver coins does not mean they are in favour of sound weights and measures.
Yes, I agree. I'm just wondering why they bother with selling gold in the first place. Its okay, I am not trying to be bothersome. I honestly don't understand it.
