I think either would be widely recognized. I tend to think worst case scenario. No technology, no internet. After all the stupid people are dead and or have become manual laborers the people who have researched the "what-if's" will recognize your barter or have learned about the more widely utilized barter items.
I'm just saying if you had to "rack and stack" what would be more widely accpeted... I am thinking...
Junk silver (smaller purchases)
Silver ASEs
Other country's coinage (maple leafs, Silver Pesos, Krugerrand, etc)
Private Mint Coins/bars.
etc, etc.
I guess I better not get too much off topic. We are delving a little more into the "survival/preparedness" part of all this.
