Precious Metals in B.O Kit

[FortTom]

Stone, I think paper bills will be worth little to nothing, especially $200 worth. There would be no markets to set "spot" prices. It would just be a matter of who needed what the worse. A guy with a bunker full of supply's to last 6 months to a years worth of supplies would probably be willing to trade a case of beans for how much silver or gold he could possibly squeeze out of you.

In reality, though, I'm not talking about a thriving gold and silver market during anarchy, but just carrying a little on you for barter, with the rest stashed.

UW's position, "if you can't eat it, screw it" falls apart when someone does want "currency" for something he may desperately need. Since his premise places no value on metals of any kind, and I see where he's going with that, if he desperately needs some antibiotics, and someone will take silver or gold, and he has a little, then in reality he's getting a hell of a deal. He's getting his meds for something that has absolutely no value to him. UW wins..
