Hmmm...gonna buy a loaf of bread with a gold coin? How are you going to get change? I think you're far better off with silver. Or ammunition. In the looming COVID-19 apocalypse, or any of the other imminent apocalypses, I think ammunition will be the new commodity. And it's usefulness is amplified by the fact that if you have enough of it and know how to use it, you don't have to stockpile any food or medicines yourself....
