The govt multicitizens have written executive orders stating that pms and any and all financial instruments are theirs for the taking, along with ANYTHING useful and essential for survival.

No one is going to trade food for pieces of metal.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74561286


Haha. Oh yes...they will.

OP...you can buy combibars of 1 gram bricks × 100 or 1000 on any major online dealer.

GoldenState is best for fractional...1/10, 1/4 oz rounds at very reasonable rates.


Get it while you can. Things moving fast.

If you show up with a silver (or gold or Rhodium) coin desperate to trade for a tin of food, best be prepared to leave with neither, and maybe with your life intact

You can pretend there's going to be polite and safe and respectful commerce and equitable trade when things hit the fan.

I know better.


Expecting to trade silver or gold for anything once the supply lines are cut indefinitely means you fucked up when normal commerce was possible.
You won't possibly have enough to catch up.

People who have stocked up on lots of food will surely give a small portion of it up for some valuable silver. People who know how to grow or hunt their food, will also surely accept valuable silver for a portion of their food.

Silver (and gold) will ALWAYS be accepted for essential goods, unless the ground no longer can produce food, or wild animals completely cease to exist.

I will happily sell a can of tuna or cup of rice for several ounces of silver after SHTF.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81048164


I agree with you.

After reading “One Second After” I decided to stock up on cigarettes and I don’t smoke. Chance are somebody will want to trade them for something.

Thats a clever idea actually. After a few days without cigarettes, a smoker will do almost anything to get their nicotine fix.

Re: How exactly do we flake off pieces of our silver to pay for stuff when SHTF?
There's a pretty good chance you won't be flaking off silver to pay for anything. Mostly using either 1oz coins or just cutting them up into quarters. If you need to go lower just cut that piece in half. The only thing you would need shavings for would probably be if you were buying a little dime bag of beach sand. If you only have giant chunks then get a knife. Or a metal wedge and a hammer but silver is pretty malleable at room temp so just get to chopping. Godspeed brother or sister, mother or father, whoever you are to me.

There will be just one transaction for you after SHTF.

Ii will be as follows:

Everything you have right now for your life.

That's the deal buddy, take it or leave it and suffer the consequences if you're expecting any other options.

How many things have to line up just right for silver to be traded for goods/services?.. and for that condition to last more than a season?

The nwo wants you chipped. A world where supply lines are still running with gold/silver waiting won't be allowed to happen.. that is, unless the nwo wants to drain everyone of their metals and not give it back.. And then chip you.

Flakes of silver? What are you buying bubblegum?
You can cut your oz round down in quarters. That’s like 5 bucks. 5 bucks barely buys anything these days.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78152436


A simple crucible will work.

Remember to stock up on casting wax, and unused plaster for your varied jewelry designs. As well as sheets of silver solder for your trade rings.

If they outlaw possession of gold or silver, it's unlikely that they will likewise outlaw gold or silver jewelry.

Unfortunately, by law you can't alter coin by grinding or melting them down, but unneeded wedding bands are fair game.

Also, don't the old time favorite, silver spoons.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80438296


Not sure about coinage from other countries, but US coins are protected by law to NOT be ground down, or melted down. Besides modern US coins are a recycling nightmare. They're made from different nearly worthless metals all clad together, whose only future use could be for subway tokens or slot machines.

No such thing as junk US coins. Even if the country goes into restructuring mode after a bankruptcy and collapse, the coin as well as the paper dollar are worth what is printed or engraved upon them. However, the inflation rate applied for exchange may vary widely.

Junk silver is good.
Silver wire .99 pure is easy to cut as well.
