Well it's used in electricalwiring and pipes, and isn't it still used in ammo .Maybe I'm all wrong in this but I keep thinking if shtf I would rather have a metal with practical purposes, even if it's not in large quantities it would be something that I could trade. I don't see people having a lot of use in trading silver or gold for food. It's shiny and pretty but very little actual practical use.
