good old “physical cash”?
you mean, paper printed by the govt with a promise on it?
like Confederate dollars?
If shtf and I am selling land, a car, a furnace, drilling you a well, or anything .... I take gold or silver coins over a wheelbarrow full of paper notes that tomorrow you need two wheelbarrows full of cash to buy the same stuff
And what about the times when you are buying, and no one wants gold, because they still have to buy things in cash?
I like beans, bullets and pullets

If it’s bad and there is no food or anything else, you might sell those items for food or soap or in exchange for medical care, etc..
