I wonder, then, too, the value of gold, etc jewelry. Will those kinds of things actually become good investments because of their ability to be melted down?
I was also considering that money itself may become useless if the economy collapses -- you might be wiser having things people can actually use/eat to barter rather than money which, although easier to carry than, say, a bushel of corn, won't do anyone any good if no one takes it.

Yes, that is certainly true. We have considered that a bit. For example, we have a pantry that includes some very odd spices, in large bottles. I don't think we even use some of them, but they will probably be very desirable one day

I buy flour in huge bags and keep it in my chest freezer. As long as you keep it safe from the moisture it will be fine in there. I keep multiple kinds of flours, too. Not that I'm much for baking durng the working part of the year, but I like to have things on hand. Granted, as of yet our pantry is really only stocked to keep us fed for about 2 weeks, but it is better than nothing at all
