If you are genuinely worried about a SHTF scenario, then your insurance policy should be fungible skills and self-sufficient farmland, and your preferred investment metals should be steel, brass, and lead.

The Great Depression didn't have full fiat currency. The current banking system might be $10T, but our present National Debt is multiple tens of trillions. Another $10T on the imaginary pile isn't going to break the world. Frankly, if a meltdown happened and people switched to gold, silver, Bitcoin, whatever, then the government could simply nationalize those assets.

The best rule I heard for investment gains is that when you double an asset, take half off the table and invest that in a balancing asset. So if a stock doubles, liquidate half the position and buy bonds. If a commodity doubles, buy equities or bonds with the gains. And so forth. Otherwise you have temporary lopsided paper gains which you eventually lose in market shifts.

CoinHunter if SHTF no one will be collecting coins anymore, but I'll still have my coins to enjoy. It's a hobby not an investment.

Banks don't mess with Canadian half ounce bullion coins anyway. My stacking is on a hobbyist scale too. On the whole I'd rather have a rare Liberty Head Eagle than a Canadian slug, and I'll pay a premium for rare. They liquidate just as easily, though not as easily as a CD.

$2600 gold is going to seem very cheap when the currency reset happens. Gold will have to be revalued to a much higher price to back all the currency required. The BRICS nations (3/4 of the world's population) are forcing it to happen.

This gold/dollar reset is the fondest hope of gold bugs but it can never happen. Some calculation that there is X amount of dollar debt, and Y amount of gold so gold should instantly be reset to $X/Y per ounce. This can never happen because no one can defend some arbitrarily set price of gold, and take on all buyer and sellers 24/7.
