Okay but you do realize they still mint silver bullion coins and you can still buy them as a hedge against inflation right? Currency of common exchange may have been rebased but the silver or gold never went away. In fact, now they're worth even more because their value is now based on supply and demand, which is one of the main reasons we switched to fiat in the first place, in order to stabilize the value of currency so that it's pegged against the size of the economy itself.
