That’s my take on it too, Emperors new clothes..! I could be very wrong though, wouldn5 be the first time.
Cash doesn’t have any true value either mind.
They are an I.O.U note. Hence why on them it says “I promise to pay the bearer of this x amount” which is an amount in gold/silver etc which is the true currency.
But if everyone went to the bank and cashed in their money for gold tomorrow, the country would collapse as there isn’t enough actual commodity to cover the amount of I.O.U notes in circulation.
