I buy and accumulate silver and gold coins as my long termed savings as opposed to fiat currency of my country as the currency is subject to high inflation and it is getting worse at this time as I predicted years ago.
Those silver coins that are denominated in $CAD are Legal Tender but the old 1949 silver coin is tradable as barter for it's collectable and silver/gold content commodity value.
The value of the commodity begins to play the role as money when the fiat currency hyper-inflates becoming worthless. And, I have traded silver for goods before as a trial run. Not many retailers have considered this as a payment option yet but when the economy goes bad there will be a need for money everyone can trust.
I have a few hundred old silver dimes and quarters for Emergency commerce, if it does not happen as bad, I can pass it on to my kids to safe guard their future.
