Why? The governments will print enough to cover any withdrawals.

Yep.

The real danger is if people start refusing to take printed money and demand barter, precious metal coins or gold.

Not so much us, but yeah if it's foreigners that's a problem.

Some of the survivalists on the Res. thread already do.

Speaking of which, there's some heavy noblesse oblige going on that thread.....considerable talk of maids, summer homes, 'grocery' cars, mini mansions, let them eat cake, etc. I think the attitude is hilarious.
