"Where would one sell his gold and what he will receive in return if the system collapses and severe unrest spreads ? few pounds of meat and other consumable for one bar of gold?"

long before i needed the few pounds of meat and other consumables i'd have traded the bar of gold for a similar value of silver in coin or small bullion bars. then i'd negotiate the most i could get for the smallest amount of silver i held. of course if i'd have allowed myself to run out of water in the desert and was dying of thirst, i'd be willing to trade anything for water.

if bad times come, i think one will still have the time to negotiate 'somewhat' fair deals..
