Invest in guns and ammo.

Ammo is the new gold.

What the hell are you talking about ?   

The point would be to use real money instead of the phoney federal reserve notes .

I think he's talking to me (you've been guilty of this yourself).The thing is, he's not wrong. Its an undeclared tax on savings where the government makes money in sienurage.
but,  if have to use gold or silver, I'd probably get farther bartering ammo, because things have seriously gone Southward.

+1.  Lead is not the new gold, you need primers and powder which are scarce as hen's teeth right now.  I can still get lead bullets but I'm going to be out of powder soon.  I have a buddy that'll sell me powder at normal costs since he stocked up early last year, might have something to do with being single and no kids.  So then primers are the bottleneck. 

FWIW I looked at prices for components once things get back to normal and I can get primers and powder to load 11000 rounds of 45 for ~$320...

The point is that your real silver dollar would only be worth it's face value of one inflated dollar and would need a sack full of others just like it to buy that burger.

No point of sale is going be be able or want to assay your silver dollar and give  you the correct change.

Never been involved in "underground economy" have you ?
You coin would have the value of the weight of silver or gold . There are standard weights even for pre 65 change so no weighing or assay involved , just like there was no need for them back when we used real money .
And in case you are incurably naive very few people will refuse tax free "real" money.

I used McDonald's as an example to demonstrate what you would need to do in the above ground economy, which will be functional for some time yet.

But just get this straight, how many times have you ought a Big Mac on the underground economy  and what percentage of your purchases in the past year have been made on the underground economy?
