Gold has a bit of history as a valuable item. Beads, too. Paper?
No thanks.
You should own a bag or two of silver coins if you are looking for
hard money. It is hard to make change for a Krugerrand when you are
buying groceries
While gold and silver can be a valuable hedge against inflation or a
server recession and/or depression, it would have no value if there was
a complete breakdown in government and society. Barter for real goods
and services would be the new coin. Gold only has value if people
believe it has value, the same as with our paper money.
Whoa. You're saying my VISA card won't work. Even the platinum?
Oh ****.

In the complete breakdown of goverment and society, your Gold and
Platinum Visa cards would still work, they rest of them would be
useless. 
Try to use a pressure cooker, it will help to tenderize them.
