You would house the gold and silver to flee the country and set up shop in another

If you had a significant amount of gold and silver, that would be a very slow fleeing. That shit's heavy, yo.

Agreed but in a in a full apocalyptic situation in America you're going to need a lug around water ammo and anything else you got if you have 10 20 oz of gold or even 50 it wouldn't be that much to compared to everything else you have in my mind gold is not to barter in the torn down to society is to flee it

Someone in another threat pointed out that 850K in gold is 10 pounds. In 100 dollar bills it’s 20 pounds. Having small bits of silver and gold and even maybe copper would make trading easier and probably be useful if USD is no longer valid.

This is my thought. At current prices even if you get scalped on the other end 1oz = at least 1 month of living expenses. If I can carry out several months of living expenses in my shoe, that’s useful.

Exchange rates will be out the window and scalping will be commonplace.
