This is something I wrote on a blog and edited it a bit for here. I do believe God had gold and silver as money for us since thousands of years ago, to be accountable for it, and it is still the true money today:
Electronic money is brand new and first paper money was 'not' the signed IOU's for coins in China, but rather has only been around for about 300 to 400 years. The first real spendable paper money from a government was in Europe. Europe's the first paper money consisted of paper 'coins' issued in Protestant Leyden (today, Leiden) in the Netherlands during the Spanish siege of 1574. Americas 1st paper money... 1690 - The Massachusetts Bay Colony issued the first paper money in the colonies which would later form the United States. So paper money is only recently in history.
Then look at gold, many, many times longer, as a form of currency for many thousands of years by both weight and coinage. Gold is real money, real money is not the farce-false electronic money and farce-false fiat paper currency printed with paper, ink, etc. without gold-silver backing and accountability.
Even sooner, recently only a few decades ago this paper money(certificates) had to be accountable for gold and silver in the bank vaults by governments, to 'back' their paper currency. Paper currency had to be printed according to the amount of gold and silver in these governments vaults.
Even 'much' sooner we have only very recently(a new thing) have printed paper money(with electronic money) 'without' gold and silver backing. This farce-false fiat paper money we have 'now' can be made with printing presses and is not worth the paper it is printed on being a total joke farce. Gold and silver(along with copper) always has been and 'is' the real true money.
