Jalapeno is better.
That's a good one. I like them. I don't have to eat that stuff but being on 24 hr call Vienna Sausages, potted meat, sardines and spam are handy to grab with crackers for a quick break. I guess the reason I still eat it is everytime I open a can of that stuff it brings back memories of Dad and me. He always had that stuff when we worked on the farm, fishing or hunting trips. Fond memories!!
Back when silver and gold were used for barter, they would nip a piece out of the coin. You can see coins at shows with multiple nips out of them.
On the flipside, if the economy goes belly up, a loaf of bread and a tent might cost 10k!
I think they are both pig parts. Just pressed differently.
Exactly. See the previous post!
Actually they were called bits. They’d cut a dollar coin into eight pieces or 8 bits. Common slang, at least for older folks is to call a quarter “two bits”.
‘How do you trade gold etc. for food etc.’
You cash it in at the gold store, use the cash for groceries and buy more gold after your next payday.
You might want to read ‘Thoughts on Urban Survival’ by Ferfal, it’s available online. He’s writes about the currency crisis in Argentina and how things changed.
Interesting is a book I read that discussed how gold does best in deflations, due to fear buying, while in inflation any real good acts as a store of value.

Actually the smaller ammo doesn't take up that much space, A shoe box size is 500+ round of 5.56 or 7.62 x 39. A 30. cal. ammo can will hold 500 rounds of 7.62x39 depending on packaging.
Hindsight being 20/20 I wish I would of sold my silver prepandemic and bought 545x39. I could be making a 100% profit+ on that ammo. I did buy, only one case though, some wolf 7.62x39 8M3 for about 220$ per 1000 just saw a case go for 575$
I get that @capnkirk462 but by the time you add up all your shoeboxes to get 10,000 rounds that’s 20 shoeboxes for just the 5.56. Add to that 9mm, 45ACP, .308, 12 gauge and so on you’d be talking 120-150 shoeboxes in no time and that’s a LOT of shoeboxes…..would put my wife to shame.
