I'm about to buy my first 2 oz of silver bars and I am wondering where to store them and if I'm making the right decision. Buying locally from a coin store referred by a family member. I am curious if anyone has documentation or video of why buying silver is worth it. I want to buy 2 oz every 2 weeks while I can afford it. I guess I just want to be reassured that this is a good idea cause it feels right but I'm new to this. If you have any info I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for reading this. Please speak your truth.

My question is if you have silver bars, and if it comes time to use silver as currency, how do you split it up to purchase things & how much would it be worth? I understand the reasoning behind purchasing silver I'm just trying to understand how it will be used compared to the money system we use now.
No clue but I feel like that would only happen in apocalyptic type circumstances and Trump isn’t going to let that happen.
It makes me wonder should we look to purchase silver coins or bars.
the bars weigh as much as silver coins. 1oz is small so i'm assuming a bar would work same as 1oz coin.
Use the bars to pay for the more expensive stuff?
You buy silver in small amounts. No different than going travelling to a third world country with only $100's. You travel with various amounts in different pockets and don't flash your money around because that's a sure fire way to get robbed.
If one is buying precious metals for when SHTF, it should be in small $5-$10 barter amounts. it's easier to travel with, it's less noticeable, if someone steals it you're not out your entire amount. I prefer jewellery (partly because I'm a woman and like shiny things) but you can wear it if it comes to a point on this Earth that the economy has crumbled we're bartering for rice with bracelets.
The only reason to buy bars is if you're investing in it like you would long term stocks.
