How about guns and ammo? Don't you think primers and gunpowder could be as valuable and 'barterable' as gold dust and nuggets? How about cans of beans? Gasoline?

Bingo!!! But don't forget about cigarettes.

During WWII, US POW's actually created an entire financial system outta the trade in cigarettes.

And nothing is more powerful an addiction, since it is assumable that smokers would pay in gold for a pack of smokes.

I know... I'm a smoker... :0)
