one bit of advice though, When you have a question like this just make a short note and send it to the mods. You'll usually get a reply within a day from a couple of them. Happy hunting!

Please read my Bug Out Bag Article, it should help with many (if not all) of the considerations for a kit.

My thought, Money will not be worth much after a massive outbreak, especially on such a grand scale that entire nations collapse, but if you wanted to be different, and have green toilet paper with little faces on them, go ahead, keep your cash. The way the world would work post z-day, would be on the barter and trade system. That is my opinion.
This is true, but money will still be accepted for a while after the outbreak, especially before the outbreak has reached your area, because people won't want to believe that the infection will make it to them, they will want to believe it can be stopped, that the government will keep them safe from it. So money will still be useful if you want to get out of your area when the outbreak occurs.

A bug out bag is a general survival tool. Which should contain anything you feel may be necessary for survival, in some instances money would be extremely useful. While in a post-apocalyptic situation I do not see money being valuable I do however know the use of having cash in a post-disaster situation. Personal preference is to keep money in a safe place in my house but in time I more than likely will add a little bit to my BOB. And a BOB should be just that, your preference. If you want more do refer to chils previous post

Also, I think that if a community after z-day were to reach the point where currency could be functional again, it would be a shame to waste the durable and relatively high-tech bills we have now, and the coins are nice too. All the community would have to do is mark the bills and coins somehow, and then they could use them.
I agree, with both Kildar and Chilbert, but after a while, you will be holding onto useless scraps of paper. That is all I am saying. I am not saying toss your loot because in five minutes it will be worthless.
Yes, 2-3 hundred is a good number.

I tend to agree with Kildar on this one.
Prepare for the worst, HOPE for the Best.
