Paper is worthless. So is paper money. Even though the government assign their value, but there is inflation every year. Their value always decrease. Heading for their real value: Worthless!
Long time ago many government in the world such as the Roman Empire, the Greece, Babylon, and also Islamic Caliphates using real money such as Gold and Silver as their money.
Those money have real value even when people don't use them as money. Gold and Silver always valuable everywhere and everytime.
Gold and Silver's value move along with other goods. Their value are relatively the same. There is no real inflation though their value with other goods are fluctuate too.
