gold coins, silver coinsCan't eat them, can't put them in your gas tank, can't kill your enemy with them, can't diaper your baby with them ...
So their utility is ...?

Ok in a low/no government situation barter will be king, You may not take gold and silver but many, many will. It is easier to carry few coins in your pocket to travel 50 miles to get homemade penicillin than carry 20 60 pound sacks of flour. The choice is yours.

Intrinsic value. Invest in lead too.

I’ll take any gold and silver coins you’re wanting to throw out.
