Accepted at the grocer? not yet. No stores accept silver and gold directly in my town. Weed guy? Guess I can ask. How do you handle buying say a shovel from Ace Hardware with silver? I have seen only 1 website that accepted gold and silver, but dont remember where now. Your experience?

I meant silver and gold have been used as payment for most of human history.

Our society is not there yet, but when they bring in a CBDC and negative interest rates...that will be the moment.

I agree Mrs S, gold and silver historically, but today right now, cash is still working and accepted, and I can't do a thing with gold and silver, in terms of buying anything I need on a day to day basis. The moment you speak of may take more than a moment. I heard the questions to answer about any currency are How safe, How liquid, and what's the Return; I think clean blood may become our next currency, or maybe healthy babies. Just a sober guess.

I hear you, and I know this is commonly not well-known, but coin IS "cash." Cash is anything physical, including checks.

It needs to be accepted and decided by the people first, I think. That's why we go local... it's a community effort. I think soon people will be quite happy to do this, because the alternative is abysmal. The more we go down this track, the more people will realize what it is.
