OK how about neon as it is colourful, (when lit up) non poisonous and non reactive. You could keep it in bottles. Other suggestions are water, iron, vanadium, nickel, ( we use it now in coins.) silver, rhenium (rare), platinum, chrome (durable), tungsten. How about nylon? Ok I am looking for a trade good -- compact, durable, highly recognizable, easy to test, hard to forge, widely accepted, easy to divide physically, (fungible too) stable value, or at least widely and easily determined of value. Cannot be flooded into a market easily. etc ... Nobody seems to like gold, except the little people. Waht could replace it that won't crash and burn or has dual echanges, inside a country and out?
