There are smaller increments. Dubloons...er, I mean... American Silver Eagles go for about $34 USD today. And you can buy "junk silver" that would be very good for barter or HODL. These are US coins minted before 1964? 1968? that are 90% silver (nickels, dimes, quarters). They would also be good for barter/HODL. Check out local coin dealers in your area.
Just do a little research before buying junk silver. The main thing to look for is the date that is on the coins, coinciding with wars that needed to be funded, so governments debased the currency. (Sound familiar?). In NZ, I think it was 1948. In the Netherlands it was something similar http://www.canada-gold-buyers.com/silver-content-of-dutch-guilders-and-guldens/.

I would LOVE to own some dubloons! Thanks for the advice, but one thing -- what is HODL? Sorry and thanks.
