Gold tastes bad and is of little use in a SHTF situation.
Gold is an “investment” for tough economic times, NOT mayhem and disorder.

My grandfather escaped from Russia at the tail end of their revolution because of the gold coins that were sewn into the lining of his jacket by his aunt. Those were definitely times of mayhem and disorder, but the border guards and other people with whom my grandfather dealt knew that the gold was valuable. They also had a certain degree of honor in taking only a certain amount, and not killing or arresting him once they got the gold.
While there is no such thing as a guarantee, I would be willing to bet that having a variety of different sized gold coins, along with silver, would be very valuable in future times of mayhem l and disorder.
