MY COMMENT: Store silver and some hard assets. Gold is good to have, but too valuable to barter with or use for smaller individual purchases. Most people will be exchanging silver for food rations, a bottle of clean drinking water, a carton of eggs, a pack of cigarettes or a cigar, a bottle of moonshine, a box of ammo, etc. Gold will mostly be reserved for buying an old fixed up vehicle or a tractor, or some property, or a firearm, something that is of greater value than the silver ounce. Silver will be great for bartering, and so will liquor be too ;)

>inb4 gold is outlawed again

Average Americans had no clue what would happen to the price of gold in those days, they had no internet or alternative sources of media to warn them, so many gladly gave up their gold for dollars. Not so today with the internet. Everyone knows the real value of gold, just do not tell the government you have it, purchase silver and gold with paper cash and they won't know who has what stacked away. Just make sure you trust and know the people you intend to barter with first!
