[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 3978856, member: 42584"] You brought up a good point about keeping a little [B]cash[/B] on hand. While living in Simi Valley California-NTM during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, power was out for several days and most businesses closed their doors. Security systems were out, ATM's didn't work, and Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals were down. The only grocery stores open were little Mom&Pop places that wouldn't accept any form of payment except CASH. For those that have Gold/Silver bouillon or coins stored for use during an emergency, or plan on doing a barter for supplies - good luck. Cash tender has been used for Centuries and I'm pretty sure most people are not going to change from this familiar payment method even if they knew how (i.e. what denomination and how many gold coins, or how many cartridges for a pound of coffee or a can of stew?).
