I helped liquidate an intestate estate and the the gentleman had a carload of real silver coins. None were rare, all were melted into ingots. Jewelry had the stones removed and the setting also got the torch.

I would far rather have coins then a bar of silver
as post what ever worlds it will be eazyer to trade a coin for food then deal with a silver bar and gold is far too valuable for such trades
