Worst world take over plot ever. No country has used gold as the base for their currency since the the gold exchange standard ended in the 1970's. The only outcome of flooding the market with gold would be that the value of gold would drop and the price of lead would increase. The value of the dollar, euro, yen, or any other currency would be unaffected. My world domination plot of flooding the world's Jell-o market with an inordinate supply of strawberry Jigglers probably has an equal chance of success.
