Hi-ho Silver, AWAY!

>Gold and silver were also exchangeable for each other. Another tablet from ancient Babylonia during the time of Nebuchadnezzer states that 5 shekels of silver were worth ½ shekel of gold. (A shekel in ancient times was a unit of weight, equivalent to about 8.33 grams.) This implies a 10:1 ratio between silver and gold.

Oy vey, your knowledge of ancient jewish stuff is ...um, however the fuck they say "awesesome" in yiddish. Apparent;y it's just "awesome" misspelt, so it's nowhere near as funny as I had hoped...

You mister, are drunk

Or started to drink your third glass already... Now tell me how wrong I am!

Using ratios to describe value, instead of t, is an odd argument for silver being "this cheap in 5000 years of human history".

True

That being said... USD is an odd stuff in itself, so there's that...
