Was talking about society collapse with some family friends who are usually very prepared for world ending events (backup power, water, food, guns/ammo). I was saying that ammo will be the new currency. They having been buying gold for decades. Not sure what they plan to do with something you can eat, and that has no value in the apocalypse. I argued my ammo can buy things from friends, and "buy" things from enemies.
The only good thing Gold or Silver goes in Grid Down is Melt into Bullets. It isn't until after society reforms that they will hold real value again. Best investments currently are Guns, Ammo, Food, Water and Survival Items that could be used as trade in the future. Hell Land will be more valuable then Gold after a Collapse, especially land that has been built with a Food Crop of Fruit Trees, Berry Bushes etc on it. Also a lake with fish in it is a two fold resource as you can both filter the water for drinking and eat the fish from it.
