Understanding why the U.S. dollar is fake money, according to Robert Kiyosaki, starts with a question most people never ask: What makes the money in your wallet valuable?
You work for dollars. You save dollars. You trust those dollars to help fund your retirement.

But what happens when the currency you’re saving continues to lose purchasing power?
In this special edition of The Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki revisits conversations with precious metals experts Jim, Charles Goyette, Kevin DeMeritt, Jay Martin, and Doomberg to challenge what most Americans believe about money.

Robert shares a lesson he learned while serving in Vietnam that changed how he viewed gold, silver, and the U.S. dollar. It’s a story about a gold coin, a failed negotiation, and a realization that his formal education hadn’t prepared him to understand.

The conversation raises an uncomfortable question: If gold and silver have served as money for thousands of years, why do so many people trust paper currency more?
The guests examine what changed when the United States moved away from gold-backed currency, why government debt and monetary expansion matter to investors, and what the movement of physical gold between countries could signal about confidence in the global financial system.

They also challenge a common assumption about precious metals: that gold and silver are simply investments people buy because they expect prices to rise.

But are rising prices really the most important thing investors should be watching?

And what should you understand about physical ownership, storage, and risk before deciding whether precious metals belong in your financial strategy?

The Rich Dad lesson: Before you decide where to invest your money, make sure you understand what money actually is.
