In 1913 Gold was $20.67/oz., which could buy you a tailored suit, hat, tie, leather belt and shoes. Try buying all of that with the same $20.67 today! However, and ounce of gold will still get you the nice outfit today-Gold is a store of value, the dollar is a depreciating currency. Keep stacking the gold and silver while it is artificially suppressed by the bankers!
No, that is not right, you have to buy it with what an ounce of gold costs which is about $1267 today, there are shoes that cost more than that.
I definitely could get a decent suit with everything for $1267, maybe not Armani, but the point being that gold holds its value much more than the dollar.
lol... Clever answer...

And in ancient Greece, an ounce of gold would buy you a well made toga and a pair of sandals -- seriously!
