Pre-1965 US Dimes, Quarters and Halves.

On the extremely odd chance that we did hit a fiscal Armageddon, actual 90% Silver Dimes, Quarters and Halves become relevant as they are already familiar to all Americans and will get some fixed values. Silver Eagles* and/or Silver Bars? Not so much.

*Silver Eagles: I get that they are produced by the US Mint, they are legal tender and they have a denomination inscribed on them but no one has ever taken them in change for normal business transactions. They have never circulated as normal coinage here. They would be like a Foriegn coin to most Amurkins.

In an Economic Panic, one doesn't want more uncertainty.
