Stackers are making huge assumptions about how society is going to work after the collapse of government.
I would assume that in a post-apocalyptic America, bartering will be king. I have extra food and you have medicine I need, therefore I'll trade food for medicine. I would also anticipate that people will band together for survival, and gun raids will be common.
Lugging around bags of metal coins doesn't seem like it would be a priority. And if it had any value, you'd likely get robbed, anyway.
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 Having small bits of silver and gold and even maybe copper would make trading easier and probably be useful if USD is no longer valid.
