If you had the real stuff what could you do with it? Say the dollar was worth zero. How do you value a chunk of gold against a loaf of bread? Who would then determine value? The grocer could say, “Ok, that’ll cost ya a chunk of gold” .... an ounce ... a quarter ounce? Carry a scale around with you?

That, plus the fact that a very small amount of gold has a lot of value (relative to the dollar), is why I like silver. To be precise, pre-1964 90% US silver coins. Most everyone is familiar with them. They are very easily traded at multiples of face value, currently right around 11.7 to 1. People always need a medium of exchange and I believe that at sometime in the future they will be referenced in silver and cartridges. For example, 8 22LR rounds = 1 silver US dime.
