Currency has never been simple, because you have human emotions involved and people tend to be selfish (to a greater or lesser degree).
Wherever human emotions are involved, you have uncertainty and unpredictability. Then you've got all sorts of emotions going off...fear, confidence, optimism...
Humans have tried to attach tangible signifiers to currency, such as gold. However, nothing works in isolation and the value of gold is affected by the price of everything else. These prices are determined by humans and not the metal itself.
