Where does he get 6000 years? Is it a coincidence that creationists believe the earth is 6000 years old? No. There is a link between Ron Paul's understanding of money and the book of Genesis.
He gets 6000 years from Gary North, the designer of Ron Paul's home school curriculum and adviser for nearly 40 years. Gary North is also the son in law of RJ Rushdoony.
When God created Adam, he gave Adam gold. This comes directly from a Gary North publication on Christian economics (aka Austrian Economics).
page 123: THE DOMINION COVENANT:GENESIS An Economic Commentary on the Bible Volume 1 by Gary North
"God provided high quality gold for Adam, and Adam and his heirs were (and are) expected to recognize God’s generosity in this regard. The gift of gold was a fine one indeed. It still is."

Favorite Quote from Gary North:
Reconstructionists provide the most enthusiastic constituency for stoning since the Taliban seized Kabul. "Why stoning?" asks North. "There are many reasons. First, the implements of execution are available to everyone at virtually no cost." Thrift and ubiquity aside, "executions are community projects--not with spectators who watch a professional executioner do `his' duty, but rather with actual participants." You might even say that like square dances or quilting bees, they represent the kind of hands-on neighborliness so often missed in this impersonal era. "That modern Christians never consider the possibility of the reintroduction of stoning for capital crimes," North continues, "indicates how thoroughly humanistic concepts of punishment have influenced the thinking of Christians." From "Invitation to a Stoning"
