Tried to pay the town taxes with my coin. They wouldn't take it. Kidding!
Small silver maybe- trade for food?
Things could get that far gone and then what? toilet paper? barter.
...btw, as to gold, silver, copper as 'the money' i believe you'll find some of the founders believed using gold/silver/copper as money would leave people with something of value after a governmental cataclysm such as the one they lived through..'the paper' is only as viable as the government/government-licensed corporation that issued it...whereas the metal retains value no matter which government or individual issued it...
