I think my point still stands. I think the point still stands

I'm not sure what point you are making, it seems like you're just describing a gold backed currency and repeating the same things multiple times.

If you aren't using gold directly how would there ever be "not enough" unless a penny became worth too much? People did this for hundreds of years, this isn't some theory or experiment, it's basically how the world worked for most of human history.

If you peg an amount of money to a mass of gold, would you or would you not limit the amount of money in existence?

It worked before, you do know money is divisible right?

There is already a quantifiable amount of money in existence, can we at least establish that?
