Gold. Is it any use?

[NorthernRaider]

Gold and Silver are almost universally accepted as being valuable right across the world thus permitting bartering for goods and services to be made much easier than transports twn tons of logs to exchange for 6 goats, 3 pigs and a few slaves. SILVER is easier to use as a currency because its less valuable than gold its why many preppers and survivalists keep a selection of mini ingots and coins as a trading commodity.

Saying that though many preppers also find 22.LR and 5.56 ammo is nearly as valuable as a trading currency.
