From Richard Russell in Dow Theory Letters:

When Bernanke was asked if gold was money, he answered "No." When Bernanke was asked why the U.S. held the largest hoard of gold of any nation on earth, he answered, "Convention."

My take -- Bernanke is either dishonest, a liar, or ignorant. Take your choice. My pick -- he's up against the wall and dishonest. The Federal Reserve is all about fiat money. Is it any wonder that the Fed Chairman had to deny that gold is money?
