Why am I being forced to conduct transactions in pesos or USD and not gold/silver coins like in the good ol' days?
Because gold failed as a currency.
You can argue that it's doing fine in other aspects but it definitely doesn't have the attributes to be used as currency, if it did, we would be using it instead of paper/digits backed by nothing.
