You have small denominations,and it's recognizable by the general public. And it's very illegal to counterfeit it has the same protection as current us money.
And they don't make it anymore. I bought most of mine last year when it was cheep and avalible.
That makes some sense. In the case you actually need to barter with it its not likely to be forged and it easily verifiable at 90% without additional tests.
The illegal to counterfeit part not as convincing because in the situation where it would need to be used as tender would be a SHTF situation and the concern over illegality of counterfeits goes out the window.

In a SHTF situation, almost no one will have the resources to fake us coins. Good ones are hard to make.
