The problem with using commodities like gold and silver for currency is that you then tie up those valuable commodities into a relatively useless form, i.e. a coin. Energy is the only real currency, it's just waiting to be quantified into a currency. Humans are too stupid, evil, greedy, whatever you want to call it to implement energy as a currency anyway.
Also inflation is just a form of taxation, a way for those with the power to create money to take wealth from those who don't.
Good point, this is why fiat currency is the most efficient
