To those that say that when the SHTF you can not take your gold to the store to buy a loaf of bread, consider this: you take your gold to a money changer to convert it into the existing currency at the existing daily exchange rate, then you take that currency to the store and buy your loaf of bread.

There have always have been money changers, isn’t there something, in the Bible, about Jesus running the money changers out of the Temple.

I know from first hand experience that there was a street, in Saigon, where there were many gold dealers, where the crafty Viet Nam women would buy and sell gold. They converted their paper money to gold which would always have value no matter what the paper money did.

Money exchangers will always be available to those who have gold to sell at the existing rate of the local currency.

That’s a good point. That is a very good point.

Makes a ton of sense and I will remember that when how impractical gold will be when the fiat currencies become worthless.
