I am not sure how useful owning the actual precious metals would be in a societal collapse. It's going to lose value quickly. It would take probably 5-10 years before some rich rober baron decides to make a market for it where it gets a decent trade value again. An Oz of gold is going to mean a lot less to me than box of bullets or some chickens, unless I can find someone to give me a ton of that stuff in trade before my family starves I am going to take the chickens.
Much more useful in a hyper inflation scenario.

If it makes you feel better I read it as "a hundred little bags of fries" and have been thoroughly baffled until this comment chain. Because surely a hundred little paper fry sleeves with one or two fry in them is absurd and can warrant a ridiculous response.
