Now suppose that, hypothetically of course, that you are surrounded by people who are used to exchange silver coins only and who have never seen gold and wouldn't even recognize it if they had it in their hands. Suppose now that you are one of the guys that has golden coins as well.

What would you do with your golden coins? Would you try to sell them but only get in return their equivalent weight in silver? Would you try to convince your environment that there is such a thing as gold and that it is 60 times more valuable than silver or would you just keep the gold to yourself, keep silent and eventually walk away with your golden coins and leave the silver dealers to deal with silver?

What would your choice be?
