Mike Fuljenz's Universal Coin & Bullion Corp. Red Alert News! For Information on the Best Y2K Coin Investments! Top 5 Coins for Y2K Millennium Survivalists We receive all kinds of inquiries regarding what are the best coins to have in an emergency situation. And, the ultimate answer is: it depends on where you intend to be when the crisis occurs. For instance, in Europe in World War II, fighter pilots all traveled with one ounce British Sovereigns as part of their emergency equipment. In the event there plane crashed, the British Sovereign would get them service for various things just about anywhere. In the case of Y2K survival, once again, it depends on where you are going to be located. This page is written with the assumption that most of those who inquire here at these pages are living in America. Therefore, most of the recommendations are based on American coinage. Exactly which choices you make also depends on how you evaluate your personal risk in the event of Y2K catastrophes. Hardly anyone really believes the "worst case" scenario will be realized. However, even that is a relative term. For most Americans, especially those that would even be inquiring about coins in the first place, we have become greatly accustomed to our creature comforts, and probably, take many of our blessings for granted. Simple luxuries, like electricity, relatively clean running water, well stocked grocery stores and open gas stations appear to be a given fact of life. However, in the event of even temporary disruptions from Y2K malfunctions, each of these, and many more, services can be disrupted for indefinite periods. In such event, what no one can predict with any degree of certainty is how Americans will react to the crisis. If we react with panic, the crisis will most likely be prolonged as we begin to deal with the implications of the breaking down of our social, political, governmental and business institutions, among other things. In such an environment, even if it is not the worst case scenario, it is not hard to imagine that faith in the paper money printed by the privately held Federal Reserve may be lost. If this occurs, then the only thing that people will have confidence in is the same thing throughout history people have had confidence in: gold, silver and now platinum. In short, bullion precious metals will be the only true source of value if we lose our confidence in cash. It is in these times when everyone will want to have gold, silver or platinum in units that are easily portable and reliable as to content and weight. For this scenario, coins are the perfect medium. No one wishes that the worst case will be realized and chances are that it won't be realized. However, even when everything is running smoothly, our systems work on the premise that less than one percent of any product or service has problems at any given time. So, even if we don't have total breakdown and experience only partial breakdown and disruptions to various services and institutions, if the problems increase to say only five percent, then we are faced with major problems, and possibly gridlock. While this will not go on forever, no one can, or is willing to, predict how long it will last. It is this environment for which you must prepare. So, the bottom line is there is no ironclad survival manual, because we have never faced a crisis with such far reaching implications. The best advice is prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Reality usually lands somewhere in between, but if you are prepared, then it will be better for you than for some others. With this in mind, these are some of the top recommendations for the kinds of coins to have on hand in case you have to have a reliable store of value for trade, during a time of economic crisis unlike any we have experienced in our history, and certainly in our lifetimes.
