First Time posting as I am new here, thanks for including me.
Question for you all.
What are your expectations of the price behavior or barter-ability of copper vs gold and silver in times of crisis?
I would think that copper would not be as good as gold/silver, but better than paper.
in the 2008 deflation scare, copper fell dramatically but then rebounded quickly. Mostly because of risk assets crash and China vs the US Dollar Safety.
What bothers me most is the attached Weimar Germany years (1919-1923) copper price chart in hyperinflation. The 1923 crash confuses me most.
If financial crisis occurs where hyper-inflation (not deflation) occurs, whats would be the most probable performance of copper here in the US. Would Copper pennies be an acceptable means of trading for small denomination along with Silver?
