>>>Money during and after the crisis<<<

I keep hearing people talk about holding silver and gold...

I guess my question to them is -

How much gold do you think it would take to buy some of my eggs, chicken, bread, vegetables.....

Show up with a side of bacon, a nice ham or something - anything I would have use for and we can strike up a deal... That South African Gold Double Krugerand just doesn’t strike me as anything I need or want... LOL

We are buying silver coins. There are businesses sprouting up (including those associated with the Lakota Nation) that will take them and give you spot price.

While I agree that barter with food is better for immediate needs, if we need something big, the silver we are stocking will buy it.

That would be what silver is for! With gold, you could buy a car or something big. ;)
