My recommendation for ammunition as barter currency when we are subjected to the E-Dollar was not a political statement. You won't be able to spend any gold you have for small things. Gold coins and ingots are not easily divisible. Junk silver coins work somewhat for that, but ammunition will be truly valuable and easily divisible.

Individual rounds thru boxes of .22LR, .308WIN, .223, etc. will have very high value when all of your transactions are controlled and monitored. People will be more prone to trade some food or medical supplies for ammunition that precious metals in the gravest extreme.

A Mormon friend once remarked, "Do you think that when the SHTF people will be able to take their guns out into the desert and hunt?" It was a sobering moment for him when I said, some of them plan to come take your large family year supply of food that Mormons are known to maintain. Can you defend it?

I've known too many people who fled to America from collapsed communist countries to think it couldn't happen here. As one used to say, we are three days from barbarism. The majority of people are absolutely dependent upon food and products trucked in on a daily basis.
