Trade Goods Ideas

[DMGNUT]

I like your thinking on storing stuff that might fall into the category of "luxury" items.
But I must return for just a moment, to a thought about precious metals...
I realize "during" the event, whatever that might be, precious metals will be good for nothing.
But I still can't see an "after the event" time, where things don't return to some form of normal (whether that's the same normal as before the event, or a completely different normal, doesn't really matter).
The point I'm making, is there has always been (and in my opinion) always will be, a "currency" of some form or another, and as I'm guessing our "dollar" will no longer exist, precious metals are the most likely choice, and I believe they will rule again.
So... I guess my desire to have precious metals could be called a "longer", long term prep item.
Or maybe I'm just nutted-up.
