Reply to comment by jej218 in A 1000-year-old Viking silver treasure found in Sweden by drexa24
Until it doesn't. If there is ever a SHTF event, the paper stuff might make good burning tinder. The coins only worth whatever base metal they are made of. The viking hoard was silver. Worst case scenarios, the owner could of melted it and had it recoin to a new silver coinage or traded for straight up bullion value. Silver and gold will always be money, but fiat has been disconnected from that. It,is only worth what the person accepts it as. A hyperinflation event would make fiat just about worthless. There's been a lot of inflation lately, and lots of spending.... Billions given to fight a proxy war with Russia, spend on green legislative handouts, etc. Eventually the bills will need paid, you can only kick the can down the road so far and so many times.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

If things get bad enough that my USD is more valuable as tinder than as currency, gold is unlikely to be much use to me either. At that point you'll be best off with firearms, ammunition, gasoline, food with long shelf life, acreage, and an agricultural education.

Did you mean to say "could have"?
Explanation: You probably meant to say could've/should've/would've which sounds like 'of' but is actually short for 'have'.
