[Winner] Silver [Silver Details] The silver/gold ratio is how much silver gold can buy. As of 10 Mar 2014, it is 64.41:1 (meaning that an ounce of gold will buy 64.41 ounces of silver). Historically, this has been about 15:1 (see explanation or graph), and came about in diverse geographic areas, suggesting that a 15:1 ratio is 'normal' (assuming that silver and gold are used as money). There have been roughly 10.48 ounces of silver mined for every ounce of gold (currently, it is 8.52:1), which likely accounts for why for centuries the ratio was about 15:1. If for some reason the silver/gold ratio returned to 15:1, silver would increase in price significantly. [Gold Details] It could be argued from the silver/gold ratio that silv er no longer has monetary value, and therefore the ratio could continue to increase. [Reason]
