My thoughts were most people have some money in reserve for an unexpected emergency or medical expense, usually long term savings, if some of this was in gold kept safe from prying eyes, if there was any collapse of the banking system or sterling (£) that money would be safe guarded.
It’s also a good idea to keep some money at home in case cash machines go down, or if TPTB decide to put restrictions on how much we can withdraw, remember Greece.
Precious metals have always fascinated people and always seem to keep their value, but as you say you can’t eat gold.
As for pigs on goats we would all like sufficient land, a smallholding, to keep some livestock or poultry or even few rabbits, most people don’t have have enough land to grow most their own food. We do the best with what we have. Do not covet thy neighbours allotment.
By the way Germany has 3371 tons of gold, Italy 2451, France 2436, Russia 1909, China 1842, the UK is way down the list with 310 tons, Gordon Brown sold off 395 tons well below it’s value between 1999 and 2002.
