Thomas Jefferson Quote

Quote from Thomas Jefferson,

"The trifling economy of paper, as a cheaper medium, or its convenience for transmission, weighs nothing in opposition to the advantages of the precious metals; that it is liable to be abused, has been, is, and forever
will be abused, in every country in which it is permitted; that it is already at a term of abuse in these States, which has never been reached by any other nation."
