WOW......can we say special?
5 dollars in silver is 5 dollars therefore it would be the same amount of worth

Obviously I didn't state it right. And I am by no means special.

Silver is less volatile than currency. Representative currency (metal-backed currency) is preferable to fiat currency (invented paper currency, backed by nothing) because it limits the ability of the government (Federal Reserve) from manipulating the money supply, and thus manipulating the prices of goods.

With fiat currency, you're telling the government "Here, you print money to use for whatever you want, and I'll foot the bill when the inflation hits." Hello deficits and debts....

First off, that isn't what you said, secondly, no shit Sherlock.
What you said is $5 of silver is worth more than a $5 bill, wrong, $5 of silver is worth $5, as is a $5 bill.
