What about the idea I read on a "survivalism" website that advocated saving rolls of nickels?

Apparently the writer knows that the U.S. mints will soon be using less nickel when they make the nickels that they make and he's convinced that having hundreds of dollars worth of "real" nickels will be a great thing.

I noticed he didn't mention what the collector of nickels is supposed to do with his or her nickels when the SHTF nickel wise but I suppose that's a topic for a paid subscription website along the lines of Rich Dad, poor Schmuck or whatever it's called.

P.S. worst case I suppose one could use the rolls of nickels as an EDC weapon...;^)
