And what yardstick are you using to determine the value of a Kruggerrand?

A barrel of oil of course, a better indicator of value than any
currency.

Why not a board foot of mahogany?

That might work somewhere in some cultures but here in SWFL gold or
oil are both more marketable. Your chosen currency only has value if
someone else wants it. Diamonds might be best of all if it weren't
for the complexities of grading type and quality.
