I dont think people will use silver and gold as barter after a disaster. But that's what people think and are buying. After a disaster yes food, water, medical supplies,power, weapons is what people will barter with. Maybe after a year or two when things start to improve they may start using silver and gold as bartering, but initially yeah your right, they will use have to have items.
