Il rapporto storicamente è stato del 40% (il prezzo dell'oro per ritornare a questo livello dovrebbe aumentare più del doppio)
Due volte nel corso del 20° secolo il rapporto è stato del 100%, dovesse accadere oggi il prezzo dell'Oro sarebbe di 12.000 $
"The U.S. gold coverage ratio, which measures the amount of gold on deposit at the Federal Reserve against the total money supply, is currently at an all-time low of 17%. This ratio tends to move dramatically and falls during periods of disinflation or relative price stability. The historical average for the gold coverage ratio is roughly 40%, meaning that the current price of gold would have to more than double to reach the average. The gold coverage ratio has risen above 100% twice during the twentieth century. Were this to happen today, the value of an ounce of gold would exceed $12,000.”
