"HOW is he going to get cash from it? If things get REALLY bad does he thing he'll be able to haul it down to the local coin store? Will there still BE a local coin store?"

Did they have coin stores during the Gold Rushes in Cal and Ak?
No. Somehow, gold still bought goods. I wonder how. Probably couldn't have a been anything simple like putting a nugget on a scale, could it?
