Hello All from MN, I own a Gold & Silver Co and would like to know why preppers are looking to hold Gold & Silver? As I see it if Gold & Silver is used to trade who is going to take the Gold & Silver. There will be no one in there right mind that would take it in trade for goods. There will be no one to buy the Gold & Silver from the traders. As I see it food and booze and water and seeds being the #1 trade goods. Please lets open talks on this. Thanks

I am sure many believe that using Gold/Silver as a currency is a good idea as many will probably feel that all things will return to "normal" sooner as to later, and by accepting gold/silver they might just become wealthy when things go back to normal. At least that's my take on it.
The precious metal I deal in, in a post SHTF world is lead.

Welcome to the forum mr gold. As for me I would not take any gold or silver I have coffee for trade and I'm thinking about buying cans of tobacco and a few pipes to also trade I understand Clydesdale point but you can't eat gold and its just metal to me I can care less for it so I would not triad dirt for it that's just if you ask me but copper or lead is stuff I would triad for
I figure, if I have enough lead, and I am well versed with my lead, I can get damn near anything I want during the lawless periods. Well, until someone more versed with is lead comes along.
The thing that I think about all the time is luxury things. I do think if someone has the things that can provide freedom of what has happened and if you can take them back to the way it was.. I think that the trader will do well. Candy is a big deal look at twinkies they take them away and we go crazy. I'm always looking for something to store. I think your right on with cans of tobacco and pipes. See thats a good idea. There are allot of ex smokers that will start right up when SHTF. Need a thread THINGS TO STORE for trade.....
