How will we know how much to flake off? It’s getting scary out there.

No one is going to trade food for pieces of metal.

Buy smaller units of measure like silver dimes and quarters. You can buy rolls on ebay.

You just put the flakes on your Mettler or Hogentogler balance.

What makes silver valuable? It's a manufacturing resource, but if there's no demand it will become useless too...

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.

Well if I’ll be throwing my silver, then I’m glad I got bars. They make for better weapons than smaller coins.

If SHTF it would be idiotic to trade foodz water or ammo for gold or silver.

You can't eat metals.

If you need to trade, you trade e.g. food for it. Currency is pointless at that stage.

Silver is never going to be worth much more than it is now. Just trade for equal value. Not like we're talking about 1 oz of gold.

My theory is that having real world items & skills to barter may be a far better plan.

Do what you know.

This is just my theory, but, those having multiple skills will be the ones that will be the most likely to survive.

Be a "Giver" of knowledge, "Takers" will be eliminated within the 1st month of collapse.

I see the entire world becoming much safer & a lot less threatening once all the "Takers" are eliminated.
