      it would be things like CLEAN WATER, crops, and non-perishable foods. just think about the “200” episode of american dad, roger ended civilization when he was bombarded by particles in an acclerators. everyone either became a cannibal or fled/roam around to gather resources for food/security(while trying to avoid getting eaten by cannibals.

            Everyone is already aware you can’t eat metal

            Saying 'Buying silver is for chumps without giving an actual alternative is pointless. "

              They are also aware that you can’t eat dollars.

              Also, look into how quoting stuff works.

              The alternatives are obvious, because it’s items of actual value, like tools, ammo, seeds. Things that can be traded with/for.
