The gold silver ratio over the past 100 years has an average 47±6 or 47±13%

Since 1900 the Gold:Silver ratio has varied ±13%. The Silver Dollar (341 4/16 grains of silver) has maintained its purchasing power on average.

During that time the $FRN that used to buy 1,250 mg gold now buys 20mg gold.
The $FRN has lost 98% of it purchasing power and continues to fall.
