Initially, food, rice, medicines, and hard goods will, I think, be more valuable. Later on, when money again is used in lieu of barter, silver and gold will be the only "currency" accepted.

If you do get a 25kg sack of rice (and by now everyone should have at least done this), store the rice in glass canning jars, since mice can chew through the sack. Also get white rice, since brown rice gets rancid because of the oils in the coating.
