Gold. The Swiss Franc is one of the last remaining currency backed by gold. They import a lot of gold to keep that up. Much of it from NV
LurkerMcLurkface
Not quite true. Only ~20% of our currency is currently backed by gold. But our jewelry industry is huge. They import gold like crazy!

Try living in Upstate NY. EVERYTHING has either an Iroquois or Dutch name

I just meant that the Mississippi River is a pissant creek flowing out of lake Itasca. It should be called the Missouri River.
