Probably a good idea to have at least a small supply of gold and silver coins in case the dollar tanks. Considering the trillions of debt creating federal reserve notes($) that have been pumped into the system it is easy to see how the paper dollar fiat currency could lose value. Been to Texas Coin about four times to look for gold and silver coins. TC has a good supply. Educate yourself on the coins and market prices before you go because Phil and Jerrol are definitely trying to make a profit off of you. It’s way better to buy from a local dealer than online because you don’t have to pay for shipping or insurance. Won’t go back to TC until I have tried some of the other dealers in the area first. Will probably also wait to see what happens with the dollar. Most seem to believe in the short term the dollar will continue to rise or hold it’s value relative to other currencies which could force commodity prices down. Time will tell but it would be a good idea to have valuable tangible things that you can use as currency in case things go bad.
