Buy Silver from the Bank

True. It's very simple. Just hand the teller a note with these five words: "Hand over the money, NOW!"

Remember when dollar bills had payable upon demand written on them? When did that end . . . the sixties?
 
I have read that just buying a hundred bucks worth of rolled dimes or quarters, then searching them for the pre-1965 silver ones, then bringing the leftover coins to a coin roll place (I could do that for free at my CU) will eventually get you some real silver coins. Sounds like a lot of work though.

My Dad used to do that over 40 years ago and the supply was already drying up from all the collectors doing the same thing. Today I can only imagine that 99.9% of the all-silver coins are in collections somewhere. Lord knows I haven't seen any in my change for many years.

Sorry, I've been hanging out with too many survivalists that advocate buying gold and silver - my view is that when society DOES crash, those metals will be less than useless. After - IF - society does rebuild, they may once again acquire value, but in the intervening years people will find FAR more value in ammo and food than gold and silver.

Yeah, that's pretty much their worth these days. Penny-candy is a thing of the past, ten-cent phone calls are history, you can't even buy a loaf of bread for a dollar - I'm waiting for the day when dollar bills, like pennies, are removed from circulation because of their uselessness.
