"I was thinking of buying old silver dollars also and now may be the time. I just can't get my wife to go along with the idea that things are going to get worse and metals are going to rise. "

They are legal US money and recognizable by everyone.

My neighbor went with me when I bought them...he bought something called 'silver rounds' that had 99.999 % silver written on them. I asked him who wrote that on them and how many people would believe that in a crisis situation. (assay required?)

That's why I bought US dollars...no questions/doubts about their content.They'll be easy to exchange in reasonable amounts.
