Definitely a SHTF scenario.
If you have food and drink for a month in your house though, you got an edge.
Absolutely, you can buy other people's buttholes for a whole month before you have to sell yours!
Or become a butthole pimp so you dont have to

Wait, so you're saying buttsex won't really be a valued commodity in such a catastrophic situation. Well, fuck folks, I guess you could just eat my ass...

If someone bends over to pick something up and their pants reveal the top bit of their ass crack, do they call that a "coin slot" in America too?

Never heard of that, but we used to have a high school prank where you'd try to slip a a lit , hot end up, into said coin-slot while someone was seated. The hot seat (and lols) wouldn't happen until they stood up, which we made sure they did.
I guess they call that stuff bullying these days, or maybe assault.
Kids...whatcha gonna do?

Fuck that I hate coins. Such an annoying sound in your pocket and it's like fuck. This means I got less than a dollar. The only time I really use the jar of them that I have is when I'm at the end of the pay period and broke as shit.

Virtually everyone around here uses cards for everything already. At times, physical money seems more antiquated than payphones.
I don't lIke this. Money is physical. Its easier to swipe a card than to break your last 20. I dont use banks for that very reason. I know exactly how much i have at any given moment.

They want to introduce a card system because they want to control where you spend your money, ie not on drugs.

If this ever happens I'm going to start making it a habit to pick up people's tossed out furniture. Instead of pulling out like 74 cents from a couch, I'm going to end up pulling out 74 dollars.

You beat the strippers with a big bag of coins until it busts and showers everyone with coins? Kinda like a reverse pinata

Look at this charming thing:

This is an 1/10 troy ounce gold coin (a Chinese Panda). Its worth, at present, $110 straight up.
Most of us don't make $110 a day. Many do, most don't. I sure don't. Zappa sure does and probably several times that.
But: $110, a good day's wage. 3.11 grams of gold. How is that not convenient or heavy to carry?
How about $1100? Most of us don't walk around with that much in their wallets. We wish!

An American Gold Eagle. One Ounce. (troz) slips right in your shirt pocket and, less awkwardly than 11 100 dollar bills.
For most of us, the weight of gold coins is not a factor. 10 of those coins buys a car, 100 a house, and 100 only weighs little over 3 kilos. A house in gold, paid in full, can be carried in the pockets of your coat.

Yeah but I've lost a bill maybe once in my life.. I lose coins all the damn time. I wouldn't trust myself carrying around a bunch of coins worth 5, 10 or 20 dollars..

Trust me, you won't ever lose a $1100 coin. When coins are actually worth something your whole attitude towards them changes. You should really hold a one ounce gold coin once and let your mind wander on it. Does something with you. At once the whole fiat currency system becomes clear as the scam it is.
