<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lon Chaney, post: 1474941, member: 29844&quot;]I think the most likely SHTF scenario is economic collapse.&nbsp; Even if that included collapse of a far-reaching national government, I would hope there would still be some semblance of local law and order.&nbsp; Even if it seems more military than police force-like.&nbsp; In that scenario, there would need to be something easily trade-able, roughly uniform, and finite.&nbsp; Silver and gold seem to fit that bill very easily.&nbsp; The fact that they are uncommon metals is why they&#039;ve been used as currency since people have used currency.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And even if it is complete chaos, long after I&#039;ve been killed for my ASEs and junk silver, eventually there will be towns and small governments that are reorganized and civilized.&nbsp; At that point, my silver, wherever it may be, will likely be used as a medium of exchange.&nbsp; Or maybe they&#039;ll use bottle caps, who knows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
