Funny you should bring that up..

My daughter came home last week and told me her history teacher was talking about currency and said that all money (US and worldwide) is backed by some type of precious metal. My daughter said it was not and the teacher explained to her that she was wrong.

No wonder she has a hard time passing… the teacher is giving the wrong answers! BUT when you go to cash in that $5 bill for silver look for the history teacher that will be in line ahead of you!
