Pure gold, ie 24K gold, currency is not practical, gold is too soft a metal for that. Nearly all gold currency has always been an alloy. Since the production of gold from mines is not a constant, the value of gold is also not a constant, and when production drops, that causes panics, recessions, and depressions. If you study the economic history of this country ( or the world, for that matter), it is easy to see that the results of a gold standard are severe economic crises every seven to ten years.
But this is a useless argument since there is ZERO chance that this country will ever go on a gold standard. Just as Libertarians actually being elected to any useful number in the government is also an impossibility.

Paper comes and goes, but gold and other metals are always a constant.  Goes back to the first woman who ever saw a shiny object and wanted her man to get it.  

Any government that issues currency is manipulating currency by printing it or coining it and declaring its value.

And the populace has to buy into it.  Sometimes they do.  Sometimes not.  People always buy into precious metals.

Can't help but notice you breezed right past the question, Captain Obvious. 

Who owns the fed?

Essentially Congress does. The governing Board is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate  The United States owns any profits of the reserve banks, but private banks are entitled to a specified dividend. Oversight and accountability is controlled by Congress. Commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System hold stock in their District's Reserve Bank. However, owning Reserve Bank stock is quite different from owning stock in a private company. The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. All of the Reserve Banks are required by law to transfer net earnings to the U.S. Treasury, after providing for their and legally required dividend payments.

I'm going to tag @impartialobserver  on this, as he may have additional insight on this topic.  If he believes that I am off base in my explanation of your question who owns the Federal Reserve Banks, he can let us know.
