Dollar still works really well, but it is becoming diluted and people are losing faith in the dollar system.
Gold and silver are super solid for trade and barter, 1/10th ounce coins can be used to trade for food, supplies, energy or smokes in a time of need.
I think its only a very small percentage of the population who see this. I suppose
the thinking is that FIAT isnt going to disappear so why bother holding Gold
and/or Silver.
What joe soap would be able to verify that the silver or Gold coin they receive
as payment is 100% true without a dedicated scale or something.
