Point of replacing gold with paper, is so the "State" holds the Capital, not the Private Individuals in the Economy. Basically it was State theft on a massive scale. FDR did this, when he even had the State confiscate Jewelry in exchange for Paper Dollars, the State needed Capital, so it stole it from the people in exchange for paper with funny faces. This is why coinage in the USA = mixed alloys. Silver, Zink, Copper, and Gold counting on the coins, and mixed together in a fashion that makes it impossible to know the true value of the coin, essentially fiating Metal coins. We're not allowed to have 'real' capital in the form of money when it comes to exchange/purchases.
