Well, I keep seeing this about silver and gold not helping when civilization breaks down, and remembering a Czech friend telling me how they were aided during WWII and the aftermath because they had a very small stash of silver, which they would occasionally use a smidgen of, so there was a way. And I think it has always been that way. You won't trade silver to someone who only has a can of corn, you find someone who has a little more, who can trade a can of corn for future value. This is how the rich get richer.
Trade it spoon by spoon in that case.
