Silver in the hand is worth a Barrel of cash, when the fiat game ends. The intrinsic value of all currency is the paper it is printed on, burnt for warmth or used as wallpaper.
Or in our case, Polymer notes. Hahahaa
'The Bank of Canada made the decision to issue polymer banknotes, with the first introduced in 2011. The Bank’s Governors during this period were Mark Carney (2008–2013), followed by Stephen Poloz.'* 'The transition began in September 2016 with the polymer £5 note. Mark Carney was Governor of the Bank of England from July 2013 to March 2020, overseeing much of the planning and the initial rollout of the polymer notes'*
"If people wont accept your currency for goods and services, its only worth the cotton paper or polymer now its printed on." - Mark Carney, July 21 2021 [Damien Hirst and former governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, sat down to discuss 'The Currency’, NFTs, money, gold and Karl Marx.]
