If I just do a minute of digging through the laundry basket, sofa cushions, and slots/ashtray of our vehicles… I could fill a Best Foods jar with cold hard U.S. coin. If that doesn't fill the jar, I could walk down the block and find more in the rough patches of grass, bushes, gutters, and parking lots. Surely everyone reading this could do the same. A jar full of good old change… with mint dates that go way back before any of us were even born. Now, the point is that there is literally mountains and mountains of American coin that has survived every up and down our economy has put it through. Coin is in every house, business, buried in treasure chests out in the sand, or at the bottom of lakes, rivers and oceans… there is tons of it from sea to shining sea. That mountain of change isn't going to disappear like crypto in the blink of an eye or flip of a switch, and that mountain of change won't tear or burn like cash/stocks/bonds can. In the event of an economic disaster, American coin will always be around, and it will always hold value to the people who choose to do regular everyday business as usual. In fact, it may become more valuable when that is all we have to work with. Coin is perfect currency for the hard dirty work it would take to rebuild after a shtf scenario, or an economic reset. We wouldn't need global trade partners, stock markets, tax collectors and their unfair ways/means… all we would really need is the strength to cut loose from those systems, and accurate scales to balance the weight we have. U.S. coin… no contracts to sign, untraceable, durable, portable, and every American recognizes it for what it's worth.
