... interesting point, since the least-shrunken coin was the Gold one... HA!
Srsly though. Ron Paul has a point about our monetary policy. The dollar is weak as hell right now, and it is definitely not good for Americans. Especially if you go abroad. I don't know if the Gold Standard is the answer (Ron Paul wrote a book about this, and maybe in december when school doesn't own my life for a few weeks I can take a look at it), but we need to keep the value of our money more consistent. Devaluing the currency only aids Big Business in facilitating international trade, and hurts the individual.

I'd like to point out that I was not the one that made this about Ron Paul. I was baited into it. I just thought it was cool to zap coins :(
