What happens when the US dollar collapses?

I am on board for the no pllaging each other...

No rape was also a stipulation... Butt fuck it, you're in.

DFWM rape and pillage party when the shit goes down?

We need to set some ground rules though... Like no raping and pillaging each other.

Fuck that shit. Elvis is getting raped.

Damn, zombies have more work ethic than hood rats.

Just can't trust either one.

The zombies would eat the free-loading hood rats, which saves on ammo in the long run.

At least zombies are willing to work to get their next meal.

We've already passed the 40 year mark being fiat, so were on borrowed time, huh?

We're borrowing from future generations!!

And I agree on the zombie apocalypse. In theory, it would last less than 6 months and we could start rebuilding.

What's interesting, is that fiat currencies generally last about 40 years.

1913 Creation of Federal Reserve system

1945 Bretton-Woods

1975 Petro-Dollar

The petro-dollar was instituted in the 1970's after the collapse of Bretton-Woods agreement. So, the current dollar demise is right on time, so to speak.

The collapse of the dollar( and/or petro-dollar) is already under way, with nations trading oil and gold outside of the dollar. They are moving away from using the US Dollar as a reserve currency. Foreign nations have significantly slowed their dollar purchases. The Federal Reserve inflating the dollar like it's going out of style. Pun intended.

Consider getting an allocation that is outside of dollar denomination, or even better, get an allocation that will benefit from dollar collapse. Don't go too heavy in this allocation, because what has been the case historically, is that the allocation will rise in multiples when the currency takes a dump.

Now that made me laugh.

I'd rather have the zombie apocalypse...

That's no lie!

The dollar won't go anywhere until there is an alternative.

Right. Revalued for exchange (at the advantage of central banks, of course).

[Denny]

Thats the point. Silver will be less costly to purchase now and better suited for smaller daily transactions than gold will be. Ammo is also going to be a great commodity to barter with as well.

Let's say you need 10 gallons of diesel fuel. Would you rather trade some ammo or fractional silver for it or gold you paid a premium for when purchased?

Ammo = $.50-$3.00 a round
Silver = $20ish an ounce or about $30ish an ounce in gram sized pieces
Gold = $1300ish an ounce or about $1500ish an ounce in gram sized pieces

You missed his point. Silver won't be comparable to a COLLAPSED dollar. A devalued dollar, maybe, but if it has collapsed, then it is worthless.
