Created by the government and backed by gold. So it was actually valuable. Now it is lent to the government by the Federal Reserve an private central bank. The owners of the Federal Reserve are secret. The government (tax payers) pays interest on the money that is lent to it. Google "money as debt" to watch a video on how money now works. Then get rid of any thing you pay interest on; mortgages, car loans,credit cards, etc. Then buy gold. Hurry..
Gold, I guess. I read that people would go to the banker and the banker would write off a slip for the amount of gold they gave them and the person would use that slip as money.

In the late 1800s, a political party emerged known as the Populists that was comprised dominantly of farmers. This group wanted the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Led by William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic nominee for the 1896 election, free silverites demanded inflation of the silver coin. The farmers supported bimetallism or free silver in the late 1800s because many of them were struggling to make ends meet, and the inflation of silver would add much needed financial respite. For example, if one were to borrow two dollars in gold, this sum could be paid back in two dollars of silver. Silver and gold, under a Populist notion, are considered equal. Yet silver is NOT equivalent to gold, and the true worth of the debt repaid in silver would be equivalent to one dollar.
In the nineteen century $5000 was worth $103, 082.
Non common? Please rephrase question. Many "Silver Dollars" were struck in the 1800's.
