<<Would someone please explain, beyond an Armageddon scenario, why holding gold bullion or coinage is preferable to holding and trading a gold-backed currency such as the Swiss Franc? >>

Another reason just came to me. Can the average Indian citizen hold $US, Swiss Francs, or or anything other than their own currency? Heck, Why speak of the "average Indian"? Is the average US citizen (Joe 6-Pack) likely to hold any level of any currency other than his own, and perhaps a bit of gold & or silver?

If Joe 6-Pack doesn't have any other currency EXCEPT gold or silver what would be the wise choice of everyone else?
