I agree...can't eat gold, and it's only worth what someone will be willing to trade for it.
There hasn't been a place or time in the last 5000 years where someone wouldn't trade for gold. I don't ignore brass or lead, have plenty, but suggest some gold and silver too.

I submit that a place with rampant starvation and the entire population is in the same straits will be such a place. Gold is only valuable when there is surplus. The US will probably not ever get to the first condition...but the worse off it gets the longer one will probably have to look to find a "buyer" for the gold. I do agree that it is likely the only thing that is going to retain value monetary wise, however.
