Personally I think something even more important than collecting precious metals at this point is collecting firearms, ammo, reliable vehicles and years worth of food reserves.

Oh, I figured that went without saying. No sense in having valuables if you don’t have the gear to protect them.

>years worth of food reserves

I want to recommend those “food for a year” bundles you can get of ~2500 calorie per day freeze dried packs that last a quarter of a century, but… I don’t know what’s in them. No sense in poisoning yourself with soy, heavy metals, and artificial cancers.

Most of those are super high in carbs and not much else. You'd need to either pack dietary supplements with them or use them in conjuction with hunting/foraging/farming to stay healthy in a societal collapse scenario.

I meant if it came down to one or the other I'd
 rather buy the other stuff than precious metals.

As for food bundles, it wouldn't hurt to have some in case your other rations failed. I'd rather eat boxed goyslop than starve.

I should clarify, then.

* If you want to stop your bank balance from losing objective value, buy specie.
* If you want to “put your money to work for you,” buy an array of self-defense apparatus, self-sufficiency hardware (solar panels, home canning supplies, long-term food storage buckets for raw or pre-made foods, etc.), gardening supplies, etc.

If he already has the latter, the best thing to do is invest in actual money. When civilization restarts, people will want gold and silver.
