Copper is actually more expensive now that gold was during the 80's, in fact, large chuncks of phone and electric cables are being stolen in the US to be melted and sold by the pound (speaking of creative ways of making money). Also, there is no coincidence that americans can't take with them more than two dollars of coins during international flights. All of those worthless pennies are suddenly providing a return of around 100% on the investment if sold on the open market (what a world no?) So history has proved Simon wrong, now what ?
