Not sure previous metal would help them, but there's a reason why we always have cash on hand.

 I've always gone back and forth on how much cash to keep on hand. Finally settled on a figure but I keep it stored in a few different places. One thing I did learn from traveling in those areas, what cash you do keep needs to be a good assortment of big bills as well as $5s, $10s and $20s. In a bad economic event a lot of people cant make change for big bills and you'll end up either overpaying, buying too much, or going without.
