    That is a better question though ;)

    As recently as 1970 ?

    What was the point ?

    Surely after 3000 years of 'civilisation' they could come up with something better ?

    Also,in this high tech,age of superfast data transmission, history and the past mistakes made are not relevant.

    Why have Swiss and other central banks not sold all their gold.
    Are they stupid ?

    On the other hand,how different are we to,say,the ancient Egyptians ?
    I suspect most of them were a lot smarter than many of us.
    If the pyramids versus shopping malls are the benchmark...we are morons by comparison.
