I  believe you've  missed  the  point regarding  the  division of  gold.
Dividing up gold into smaller units does  not in any way produce more of
it. And in no way is it arbitrary or artificial, it is a natural process
in response to price  of money in response to the  supply and demand for
money.

Also, need  it be said  that money generally  can be divided  up without
losing value.  Hence, its possible to  cut gold up into  100 pieces, yet
still retain its purchasing power.

Who is they?  It most certainly wasn't something that  ``We the People''
were lobbying for. Like many of the policies that came out of that era.
