Destruction of the Dollar?

Many said at the time, aside from it being unconstitutional, that we were shooting ourselves in the foot by detaching the dollar from the gold standard. Steve Forbes recently wrote that we needed to return to the gold standard, a sentiment vehemently supported by Wayne Allyn Root, and also put forth by Nobel Economist John Nash.

Could we be at the precipice of a complete collapse of the dollar itself?

Ron Paul discussed that possibility on Cavuto last night.
