<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2628793, member: 80121&quot;]If our economy failed, precious metals may become a medium of exchange, but I believe that would be down the line. Things that would be of immediate value (barter) would be ammunition, canned food, cigarettes, and other similar items. Even bottled water would have value.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMHO the only circumstance I can envision Precious Metals becoming a quick form of exchange is if massive inflation of our currency occurred. I not buying Precious Metals because I think the above will happen, I&#039;m buying them because I think they&#039;re a good addition to my investment portfolio. I said it before, I started buying silver at $4 and ounce and gold at $350 an ounce. I&#039;m in it for the long haul, and I think they&#039;ve appreciated at as good, if not better than my more traditional investments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
