Exactly, I have a tidy little hoard of Canadain silver dimes for that very reason when faith in fiat currency hits bottom. A form of fractional silver, it is easily recognizable in the public, easily verifiable and perfectly suitable for emergency commerce in peer to peer trade.
And I now have a roll of US dimes I can send to my unprepared US relatives or do some cross border shopping.
