You can't eat oil, either. You can't eat a car or a gun. Gold and silver have been the best medium of exchange for thousands of years. You can probably eat a Fed debt dollar, but it probably won't agree with you.

Sure, barter can be done, but gold and silver make things far more convenient.

You can eat gold covered chocolate or drink those gold flakes in yagermeisters :)
