<p>[QUOTE=&quot;45North, post: 1103396, member: 27912&quot;]Gold and silver have outlasted every empire and every fiat currency other than the few modern ones we see today. Bullion has had it&#039;s ups and downs but a gram of gold has always gotten a man a good meal. </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I wouldn&#039;t put all my savings into a fiat currency, knowing well that the odds are against it holding up long term. Even those that have had a long life, like the Brit pound have seen a huge devaluation, now worth just 10% of it&#039;s value in the early 20th century. Will the usd make a big comeback or is it&#039;s fate going to be the same?</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold/silver, are an insurance against such. You don&#039;t need to put every cent into them but some. For me, I like bullion coins. They have been a great investment and I think they cover a lot of bases. Since they have a face value, they will always be worth something in a fiat. They have a melt value and they have a collector value. Best is that my wife can&#039;t figure out how to use them to shop online, so they have a great saving value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
