"the consequences of printing money over time will be inflation."
Nope that is a direct, measurable result. The hard part is creating enough currency that people don't get scared, but you just need enough guns pointed at people to make them more scared so they keep using your shite currency.

Amid international accusations that U.S. officials in the Clinton administration replaced gold in Fort Knox with phony, mostly tungsten bars that were later shipped to China and other places yet unknown, a German refinery has now discovered that it has received a bogus “gold” bar as well.
The video proof was shown on the German television station ProSieben that ran the news story covering W.C. Heraeus in Hanau, Germany, the world’s largest privately owned refinery.
In the story, Wilfried Horner, head of the gold foundry, shows a 500-gram bar (16.0755 troy ounces) received from an unidentified bank. The bar had the right physical dimensions to be an authentic gold bar, but one of the Heraeus employees suspected something.
After the bar was cut in half, the TV audience could plainly see that the dark insides were tungsten, with only a coating of gold on the outside.

I assume China, Russia, Iran and Venezuela. Though what happened to the Libyan Gold is anyone's guess. Hillaries using it to fund her campaign? Weapons for ISIS and al Queda?

Prepping you for the sad fact that the FEDs have probably stolen all our gold..
No audits in the FEDs history.. Amusing.
