I am collecting 1/10 oz coins. Canadian, Krugs...don’t matter much.
Gold is only for a short term SHTF scenario, say no longer than 90 days of instability.
In a long term YEARS long scenario, gold will be worthless. You can’t eat gold and barter with it will be insane.
Ammo and food will be the currency of the New Realm.

I disagree. Gold (and other PMs) will transport your wealth to the next era, whatever that will happen to be. It's not to barter for bread, it's to keep a lifetime of savings intact, or, relatively intact, through the Coming Unpleasantness. Maybe, just maybe, (but, don't count on it) it will appreciate and become a fortune in the future above what it costs you today to acquire. (Consider that there's about 1 ounce of gold and less than half an ounce of silver, or so, for every man, woman and child presently alive on this Earth, right now. So that's your "fair share" if it were equally divided. With any luck, you will be able to collect more than this - perhaps by a significant multiple.)
