Funny 'gold standard' moment in cheesy action film

I was taking some downtime this weekend to watch ridiculous movies including Banditas (2006) and was struck by a central point of the plot:
The two very attractive female bandits attempt to rob all the cash from the evil Mexican government. BUT the villain decides to move all the gold in their treasury (that is backing the currency) to the US for safe keeping. There's a great dialogue between the two along the lines of "I dont understand why they're moving the gold, we're taking all their money?" ...."But the GOLD BACKS the money! Without it all this paper is worthless!"
I just found it pretty funny and immediately made me think of many of the comments on this forum
I really wish there was a clip of that scene online somewhere!
