Good post but the pound from 1200 years ago isnt the same pound we are using today. I cant exchange my fiat pound for silver or gold at the bank. Fiat currencies always end in collapse and its safe to say the fiat pound is well on the way to collapse. Wouldnt be surprised to see the replacement currency called the new pound or something and that also wont be the same pound that was used 1200 years ago. The same in name only.
