Gold and silver have been money for thousands of years. Old coins that are 90% silver are the best alternative currency. A 1960 silver dime is worth about $2.40 right now. I imagine things will be bought and sold in quantities equal in value to a silver dime. Copper and aluminum will always have value but it would be difficult to figure out what that value is. The most important thing is to have enough food and other supplies. Your excess wealth should be in junk silver.

feed them or you cant make clothes out of, will be worth ANYTHING. It's the SAME THING AS PAPER MONEY, gold and silver are substances of this earth that were GIVEN a make belief value by some people, just as printed currency. So F your gold and silver CRAP, its an illusion and nothing more. If people are going to "prep", they need to give their heads a shake and get in the CORRECT mindset. Completely ridiculous concept, this whole gold and silver thing. "My rock is worth $10 cuz i said it is!"

You can always use alcohol, toilet paper, and tobacco. During a few of my travels I actually paid for a couple of small things with alcohol or a pack of smokes. So regardless of the worlds condition these three items have value.

@wizz202 oh...and salt lasts forever and you can buy it bulk at many stores where they sell water softner supplies. Pick up a hundred pounds for $8. Trade it post SHTF for whatever others can offer.

Very interesting video. I think it is a great idea to stock items that you can trade after a SHTF event. I suggest considering items that will be more valued at various stages post SHTF. For example early on people may value day to day items to maintain a more normal lifestyle, like canned foods, cigarettes, and alcohol. If shortages last for months or even years, people may be more interested in bullets, or salt. Salt? It is in almost everything we eat. It is a must for preserving and canning.

@SHTFSurvivalist but where would be the safest place to retreat to if you had the option to bug out?

salt, sugar, bullets, meds. goods will be the new currency. i bet you would trade every piece of metal for a hot dog if you are starving.

@Calkirk19 I left the US in 06. Benefits? Many. I am taxed less, live safer, have better medical, dental, more freedom, I am not under US law, the NDAA, nor am I a target when traveling. I don't messed with @ airports, I can bank freely and without refusal, I can invest easier, move easier, and overall have a better quality of life since my legal status has completely changed as a direct result of NOT being an "American". Those are a few of many benefits.
seeds would be a good currency as well

silver is not out of anyones reach,my 1 friend tried telling my that as he bought a $9 pack of smokes,he could have got 3 dimes for it.anyone can by 2 dimes a week

@18wheeler76 Sure if he reallocated his money I suppose he could buy some silver. Obviously the way he lives his life keeps it is out of his reach. To him spending that $9 that he spends on smokes is not an option.

US currency has been rubbish for years. Do what I did. Pay the 450 bucks to exercise your Constitutional rights and formally and legally renounce your citizenship and burn your US passport. Why wait around for the SHTF scenarios in the USA? Why wait to be placed in a FEMA camp? What's the point? I see guys on YT all the time with their guns and ammo while ignoring the fact that they will be easily out manned and out gunned. Get out while you can.

@JORDANSAGESVLOG Believe it or not I have given it a lot of thought. Just can't convince the wife and I have four kids.
