If the bottom drops out of the economy in the USA, to the point it make the depression seem like a good time. The economy will enter a devolution, in time it will become what 3rd world economies are. Which means you might not be able to get what you need with the gold or silver in your hand. But a G shock, or other trade goods will carry the day.

This is not me coming up with an idea. This is me reporting what has happened in history. Doesn't matter if it was WW2, the break up of Yugoslavia, in the end trade goods ruled the economy.
