The point about money is not that it would be worth something in the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust. If, say, the banking system collapsed, and your electronic money was lost, it might be worthwhile to have a grand in cash in your basement.

Now, the whole thing about preparing for a nuclear holocaust is where we get into the tin foil hat stuff, and in that case you might want to put a treasure chest full of silver next to your roll of twenties.
