I also like it, because it's currency that's been used since earlier than recorded history, it will ALWAYS be viable currency. I like having the metal more so than paper money. Like if there is an economic collapse, which is practical, in the future, you will wish you had gotten some silver because your paper money will be worthless. I like it.

No argument that silver has gone up more than inflation in this period of recession. Over time, however, it has historically been pretty even.

And if the shit hits the fan, silver won't do you much good either. People will want to barter something that is actually useful.
