Well someone needs to make up a funny transcript then.
Ron: "you see this?",
*shoves silver eagle into Bens face*, "let's have a currency competition!"
*boyish grin*, "My silver, your fiat"
Ben: "Allright, bring it on, dude!"
*whips out 100 usd bill*, "this is worth more".
Ron: "Arbitrary crap! How is 100 USD worth more than 1 oz of silver. I'll still be able to buy 20 pounds of groceries with this coin in 30 years time, when your 100 will buy a carrot or two!"
Ben: "Ha! That's the problem with your ancient silver money, it's just too inflexible: if we see price inflation, we just print more money to make up for it",
*takes pen, adds "00" to the 100 to make it 10,000*, ", see, now I can buy even more groceries than you. And that's how we grow the economy: by increasing consumption."
Ron: "You're only growing the economy on paper! You're inflating the monetary supply and the purchasing power of a few, but everyone else holding a 100 USD bill will have less real purchasing power. This destroys savings, while 1 ounce of silver will always be 1 ounce of silver. Additionally, silver has industrial use:",
*melts silver and casts a spoon, stirs coffee*Ben: *puts feet on table, sets 10,000 USD bill on fire, lights cigar*
