I think I would trust a Gold coated zinc penny over any fiat currency. At least it has an actual value, even over a $100 bill. It might be worth an actual .25 cents, where as a $100 bill may cost .20 cents to make? I don't know actual costs for the mint to produce a bill these days. Trust keeps the world going, at least for now. Gold is a funny commodity. You really cannot do much with it ,as it relates to other commodities. In other words, you can eat it, but I don't know of the nutritional benefits. Makes expensive bullets. Doesn't corrode, except in rare ,extreme environments. It does reflect a higher percentage of Infra red than any other metal, I have read. It may have some super power when it comes to solar radiation reflectivity.Not a lot of it relative to other elements on Earth. Long story short, many people have been brain washed into trusting fiat currency for everyday trade. There is not enough Gold to go around to cover all trade, hence Silver.Quite a bit of Silver, then maybe Tin ( thinking price per pound value), copper, etc, etc.
As far as an emergency situation for currency production after the next apocalypse? You would accept Gold in any form. If it is fake or falsely represented, you start back to zero, make some stockades, and invite your friends over for a god old fashioned flogging of the perps. After all, it is an apocalypse, any thing goes, for a while at least.
Rise and fall, turn the wheel, as life is, is really just a circle. BHTATM's.
Go with the flow, not the undertow. Me
