Why would there be a shortage of food and water? That makes no sense. My point is that no one will want the currency if it is worthless. Food and water (and other supplies) will still be available, it's a matter of what it's going to take to acquire them.
Silver and gold has been used as currency for thousands of years.
As I pointed out, the words "silver" and "money" are the same word in many different languages.
As was also pointed out, you could purchase an entire city block in Germany for an ounce of gold right after WW2.
