Yes. Think of gold and silver as the inverse of the dollar.

Thanks, looks like it’s still a good idea to have some old coins stuck away for a rainy day. :)

Ah, gold'n'silver in demand means dollars out the window.  Everyone knows that --ok so it never actually happens that way in real life but everyone still knows it anyway. 

The big question is how do we work with when only gold or only silver's in demand when the other's being dumped?
