[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 964508, member: 2189"] Secret Service was created by Lincoln in 1865' as a division of the Treasury for the purpose of monetary police. At the time 1/3 of the money in circulation was counterfeit and the role of the Secret Service was to police that. Their role as protecting the President did not come into play until after the McKinley Assassination. Lifer, I'm not a bullionist per se but I do agree a currency should be pegged to a backing commodity of value and historically gold and silver has served that task and quite well. [/QUOTE]
