[QUOTE="davidh, post: 2828351, member: 15062"]Dream on. Why do you suppose that if everything collapses someone with a loaf of bread would be willing to trade it for a pile of copper, or silver, or gold?

If you must hoard anything, use you money to buy and stock up on non-perishables and MRE's. Get a generator and lots of fuel; you'll need these to make light and heat. One metal might be worth having - lead. To protect what little you might have.[/QUOTE]
