I could imagine a day when people return to barter for as many things as possible.

I'm wondering when individual stashes of silver and gold bullion and coins will be illegal. And when the banks and govs work to implement a cashless economy.

Hard money, black market barter might come, for a while.

In my opinion, it’s a lot less convenient than the current system of payments. But if that collapses, y’gotta do something.

Unfortunately, if the government decides that metal-backed money is important to a restructuring, I doubt that they’ll hesitate to confiscate.
