Silver bars and coins has been a hedge against inflation though they are bulky and unwieldy. Who cannot forget the silver dollars clanging in the slot machines in Vegas? Since 1990 the usage of silver has exceeded the production of silver. In the past, silver and gold coins have bought the passage to safety where other forms of money have failed. Many financial planners recommend precious metals such as silver as part of an overall portfolio hedge. Consider purchasing some silver, whether it be bullion or coins such as American Eagles for an adjunct to long-term financial security. As always, check with your financial planner or adviser before investing.
