Do you think 10th ounce Canadian Maple Leafs might be a good idea for spending during the chaos?
Gold is the ultimate. I think silver is better to spend during the chaos because then people think you're just modest. But spending gold may act as an advertisement to try a home invasion on you. Say while you are out and family is at home? It will be better to group up with relatives and other families
Did you see the superb Bosnia civil war flick, “Saviour?” What paid for Dennis Quaid’s final bus trip to safety?
Thanks for the recommendation. My library has it and I reserved it
"Beyond Rangoon" is a nice film about war and unrest in Burma
I agree, it’s much better to use silver during a crisis. Drawing attention to yourself with gold could be fatal. If you have not read “Ferfal’” essay on urban survival, you need to google it. It’s about the economic crisis in Argentina circa 2001. He said that black markets arise spontaneously, but if you paid with gold, too many people would notice and you would be subject to robbery or home invasion. He suggested buying up pawnshop “junk gold” like hocked wedding bands. Gold is 20X more valueable than silver, but you can always “spend” a wedding band, and appear to be no more than some poor sap. Even if you owned 100s of them. Just an idea.
