<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pilkenton, post: 838456, member: 23961&quot;]If a worldwide economic collapse happened today, what good would our silver and gold hoards be in the years immediately following?&nbsp; In the worst scenario,&nbsp; paper money is worthless.&nbsp; Stores are looted.&nbsp; There is complete anarchy in the street.&nbsp; There is no law enforcement to speak of.&nbsp; It would take years for gold and silver standards to become the normal way to spend.&nbsp; How much gold and silver do we need to survive?&nbsp; You might get a loaf of bread for a silver dime from one place, then spend twenty silver quarters from another guy.&nbsp; Who&#039;s to say anybody would even want it?&nbsp; If you had an extra can of corn to trade to survive, would you rather have a silver dollar or a roll of toilet paper?</p><p><br /></p><p>This part of collecting bullion has always puzzled me.&nbsp; If you had to survive just on the amount of precious metal you have, even if you had a warehouse full of it, I think you would have a hard time surviving.&nbsp; You would hope that you had a needed skill when the time comes.&nbsp; A dentist would be nice.&nbsp; That&#039;s something you could trade for anything, and nobody can sneak up and take from you in the middle of the night.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
