The word "money" has its meanings. But basically it is a means for transferring value. And as such, it is valuable in itself.
Probably the best way to hold money that you aren't going to use for transferring, but just to hold the value of it, is in holding full and complete title to land. Good, fertile land that has its own source of good water is very valuable. It is something that can give you food and water and a place to live when all other forms of money fail. And, you can transfer title to it, even though not as easily as you can trade other forms of money.
Keep some money in a bank. Use it to live more comfortably. But only keep as much there as you need to use on a daily basis. Inflation makes money to constantly lose value.
Start trading in Bitcoin to extend the use of Bitcoin to bypass the insecurity of the banks, and their inflation.
Keep gold and silver in small denomination coins so that you can use it to trade, if necessary. In the States, buy bags of old quarters and dimes that have some silver in them. You can use them for literal money if necessary (if the banks fail) or you can trade them in for the silver content in the future.
Right now silver is a good deal. Buy silver if you can keep it safe (NOT in a bank safety deposit box).
