GOLD is Father GOD'S Money! by Robert Kiyosaki says -
God made gold and silver. Man made paper to replace gold and silver as money. Throughout the history of mankind ALL paper currencies have failed. It's an inevitable consequence of paper lacking intrinsic value of gold and silver... simple. Propaganda to the contrary is an attempt to deceive people out of their money, their value, the fruits of their labor, their life savings, their future as independent people living comfortably as a result of hard work and planning for retirement their entire adult lives. All of this is at risk for anyone trusting in paper or electronic currency, which are only substitutes for the real money, God's money, gold and silver.
