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
