That’s something I learned recently, coins have coin value + metal. But metal alone is metal value. I think it’s best to hold metal chips (silver gold) non coined just weigh stamped because in shtf you’re not going to get collector value when bartering. Like ur $50 gold coin is only worth example 35 on the scale so I’d rather have gold and silver cards to barter
Some of those may be worth considerably more than their metal value depending on condition.
