In a Real Emergency, it may be better to also have a small number of 1/10th and 1/4 th ounce gold pieces. Gold is far better palm grease than paper money anyday.

Covered, I didn’t want to mention that. “Taxi to airport now this gold” is a universal language, baby.

I prefer old US dimes & Quarters (real silver) for small change and Kugerrands for 'heavy lifting.'

BTW, you can buy 'old' silver coins at many coin shops, they're sold by the pound.

Sorry to disagree buddy, but did you ever try to spend real gold on the street. The majority of the public won’t take it. I’ll stick with the currency the other fellow mentioned but in a real emergency I’d be trading extra boxes of ammo.
