Can you eat Gold or Silver? I find this very amusing. If you want your family secure-stock a years supply of all things your family needs to survive. That way when the "collapse" happens and your out of a job, or chaos ensues you are taken care off. Also, stock things you can trade or barter. Fuel and food are two. That bar of gold you can't eat,nor can someone else eat it. And you can't run your vehicle with Gold either. With all due respect to William Devane, this is ridiculous advice.
Actually he is not wrong. I'm sure he agrees with you that you need bartering items, as well as foodstuffs and water,ect but also that gold and silver can be valuable because the elite still are addressing it value even after economic crashes century after century.
