Gold. Is it any use?

[Timelord]

Being in possession of gold or silver PSHTF might attract unwanted attention if word was to get out.... Only later when things stabilize locally will it be any use. Then it may or may not be of some use - It will depend on the scenario and the perceived value of substitute I.O.U.[/u] wealth trading at the time. We still unearth gold & silver hoards on a regular basis that owners never reclaimed or were in a position to utilize to their benefit.
Consider the relative merits wisely. TL.
