I can certainly understand that perspective. Just don't exchange one's currency for useless items. I am also not sure if the U.S. dollar will enter a deflationary period at some point. I have no idea what is going to happen tomorrow or six months from now; so, I can only trust my instincts.

If the economy collapses (which I am surprised it hasn't everyday I wake up), we will have much bigger problems than how much currency one has.
