Talk:Silver standard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just pulled this in from Gold standard in order to have a start. I don't know enough about it to do much more. It should probably be fact checked with Silver Certificate to make sure they agree. - Taxman ^Talk 22:44, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] global point of view

From a global point of view, silver standard refers to silver being the main form money in global commerce. Frank discusses this in great detail for 1400-1800 in REORIENT. Healtheditor 20:33, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit

I deleted the following text:

"President John F. Kennedy amended the constitution with Executive Order 11110 on June 4, 1963. The amendment called for isuing silver certificates for any silver buillon, silver, or silver dollars for their redemption. This amendmendment has never been acted upon, but has never been repealed."

The president can't amend the constitution with an executive order. Further, "isuing", "buillon" and "amendmendment" are not words.

[edit] Sources

I don't see any sources on this page. Maybe I should delete it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.102.239.12 (talk) 06:12, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
