    "junk" grade silver (pre-1965 quarters, dimes) are generally a pretty good way to get in if you just want precious metals to trade. The 99.999% pure stuff comes with a premium. They're pretty and shiny, but if we're reduced back to a non-fist money economy, either is going to be worth its weight in ... well silver ;)

    My wife is starting to see the sense in buying precious metals. Not totally convinced yet but she's edging closer.

    Just taking lessons from the west, in how to manipulate paper debt with more paper debt, to where value is a meaningless concept. This has been brewing for 10-15 years now.
