AMMUNITION AS CURRENCY?

Here is something for coastal anons to think about, assuming you don't already know. A good source of lead is boat ballasts (they often also have cast iron and some are entirely cast iron) and if you check Craigslist you can sometimes find old damaged sailboats for free, even at marinas some times also worth asking around at. Were one to say scrap out an old 24' sailboat with a standard lead ballast, you can easily get over 1,000 pounds of lead to make bullets with.

Stock piling ammo and using it to barter during the Happening is a good idea, but using it as currency is terrible idea. Money is not wealth, not credit, not credit, not gold, not land. Money (currency) is a legal institution linked to the needs of the populations that uses it.
It's not a good idea to base currency on gold, or any other precious metal for that matter either. Fiat money is the only real form of money. Most of the arguments against fiat money stem from the fact that our is current system is based on debt, borrowed from the privately owned Federal Reserve. When a government issues it's own fiat money it is really backed by the labor and production of the country.
The gold standard allows less money into the system than is collectively owed to the banks, causing the assets of the working classes to be devoured by debt. (((Bankers))) are also able to buy up all the gold, and through fractional-reserve fuckery they can then multiply their own wealth several times over by "lending" it out. As an international system, foreigners will always have a way to infiltrate national politics through manipulating gold markets. The populist movement in the late 1800s was against the gold standard for these reasons. Coincidentally, rubs hands it was around this time America started it's pre-Neo-cohen globalism in the Pacific.
Basing currency on several precious metals helps (like the populists wanted to do), but it is no substitute for the government issuing debt free currency such as greenbacks. Aristotle understood this, Ben Franklin understood this and helped implemented it in colonial America before it was outlawed by the British the revolutionary war was actually about currency rather than simple taxation Jefferson understood this too late as he watched foreign banks creep into politics, Lincoln used this system to rebuild after the civil war, and Hitler used this to create the German Miracle.
That being said, during the happening, gold and other precious metal will be highly valued since they can used a barter system until we can get a non-kiked debt-free currency up and running.

Counterfeiting would be an issue but when you get found out you get dead fast. And you don't have to fire a round to test it, pliers exist, just remove the bullet and check that it's gunpowder. Gunpowder has a distinct smell and consistency. If you're really questioning the rounds then just rummage into them and pull a random set of five, pry off the bullets, pour the contents into your hand. If it's real it's obvious and the rounds can be reloaded, if it's fake then you throw the sand in their eyes and shoot them dead.

Lead is a poisonous metal, and should not be handled, let alone put into a gun or used as currency.

see barter system.
money can be a useful part of a healthy economy.
however, it is not actually necessary
especially in a SHTF type situation
Are you retarded?
I hope your joking, otherwise go back to whatever brainlet creche you escaped from.
