Not necessarily. While gold is worth more than silver, there is more silver. The people that REALLY made money were the people that sold supplies to the miners.
People that sold things TO the miners- like food, equipment, entertainment.
While most of the miners who participated in the Gold Rush made only a modest profit, the businesses that supplied the products the miners needed were the real economic winners. Those who dealt in the fields of transportation, shipping, entertainment or retail became wealthy as a result of the Gold Rush.
The West African trade empires made their money mainly by trading slaves, salt and gold.

Cheap Money
There are two different types of money one made from metal and one of paper. Coins are made out of sheets of metal stamped out using dyes. The money printed on paper is made on printing presses. These types of money often have holographic verification strips which are manufactured separately with a laser before being added.
