[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4190819, member: 45785"] Yep. Some folks are forgetting how suddenly ammunition and toilet paper, for examples, suddenly got scarce and expensive. If you have enough gold, you might be able to get stuff you need. IF you know someone who has the means to go and get it, and bring it to you. In exchange for a bunch of that gold. I wonder how hard it would be to cast bullets in gold... It's about the same density as uranium, which was used in the 30mm cannon rounds for the GAU-8 gun system on the A-10 Warthog. Lead is quite a bit less dense. Silver is fairly close in density, but I understand it's a great deal harder than lead, so makes lousy bullets. Silver melts at a much higher temperature than lead, so you're not casting silver bullets over a campfire. Gold melts at a much higher temperature than gold. Probably good that I can sort of afford some lead, but not silver or gold. Nor much of anything more exotic than those. Franklin Horton describes some of the things that would be necessary for even well-connected folks to get the necessities and a few luxuries in some of his The Mad Mick stories on Amazon's Kindle. c [/QUOTE]
