So one of my co-workers today was telling me everything is hosed and I should convert my monies in the bank to silver and copper holdings. What is D&D's take on this? Should I hoarde Seems cumbersome and weighty. Senor P. fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Apr 13, 2017 |

Who is going to take this useless metal when US currency is no better than toilet paper? The local baron? The banker's guild? They have no more intrinsic value as a method of exchange than the institutions that supported them back in the day. How are silver and copper useless? Copper is pretty much the de-facto material used for the conducting part of wires used to move electricity. Silver is used extensively in semi-conductors. If things truly went to poo poo, I don't think silver would be that useful in a day to day sense. However, copper could still see a lot of use. (Pipes for drinking water in a post-plastic world.) There is also a 2000 year of history of using copper, silver, and gold as currency. Paper money has been around for... 300-400 years?
