Remember if I tear up a shtar chov I do NOT tear up the Chov, only the Evidence of a Chov. The Chov is still there and the only damage is that I destoyed a document that makes things convenient.<br>

Whereas if you destroy a $20 note, what happens? It's gone. There<br>
*is* no "chov", there never was one.<br><font color="#888888">

<br>Because with fiat money it is the shtar that coutns, The paper has no value and if you could get the ksaf off the paper somehow it's value would NTO dminish, but that would NOT be true for gold/silver. if you removed the element it intrinsically dminishes its moentary value as well as its utility. That is how they are not domeh at all<br>
<br>True a reipped up dolalr is not 100% like a US savings bond which is completely divorced from its paper andif you own stock in a trust the paper never gets into your hand etc.<br></div><br></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>
