It will get to the point where the currency will collapse before anything else, and you can use gold and silver to trade for those other things then. It is not going to go from the all mighty dollar to "SHTF" in 3 days, and if you believe that wal mart will be open on Monday and you will be defending your hoard of copper and lead with an arsenal of whatever from the people coming to invade you on Tuesday, you need to turn off the TV.
