“I am hoarding anything made of silver because gold isn’t available, also copper.”
...I was talking to a guy the other day who was salting away .30 cal ammo cans full of rolled nickels...he thinks the commodity market in nickel will go up...something to do with increased use in batteries maybe?
Actually I would prefer to collect the rare earth metals like palladium which is used in catalytic exhaust converters.
Yes I could think of nickel but its not a rare earth metal or something thats only mined in certain parts of the world.
Look for certain metals that are sourced from outside the US such as titanium. Or tungsten. Best metal to have is refined copper thats of the quality for electrical or electronic use.
To refine it would require some power, chemicals but that class of pure copper will be in HIGH demand almost immediately when electric cars start going into mass production.
And those pre-1982 pennies? save them! And also any “silver” dollars.
