There has to be a war for there to be a situation like that. There have been numerous financial resets and currency melt downs and you do not see Mad Max scenarios.
You're presuming a scenario of where society retains enough cohesion for trading with gold and silver is still possible. It's a likely scenario, though I'm also preparing for one where mobs of retarded leftist zombies will come to ransack and steal everything they can once the cities run out of food,South Africa style. Means of defense, life skills (plumbing, electric, electronics, mechanics, sewing, cooking,etc) and manpower in numbers to do all the work and bolster the defenses of your local community retain more value during times of grave social turmoil, in my opinion. I'd be happy to know your opinions on the subject.
Indeed brother. See, we just got complementary viewpoint on the same issue. I took to skills, favors and manpower, while you came with the good currency for commerce once things start to settle down.
Unless you're facing werewolves, lead is just as precious as gold and silver, if not more, when SHTF.

Dust Bowl would beg to differ. Anyway, stay safe, stay prepared. God bless you and everyone you love, fren.

"and copper too"
You can trade lead for other things.
Cheaper for the lead-holder, and equally valuable for the seller.
Especially if you have a lot less silver than lead.
I’m sure I’ll be able to find someone who needs 9mm and 223s lol
