If that is the case, they’re now busy selling it off to support their currency.
“Because THE WORLD still values gold as currency........”
Yep. Pretty sure if I offer a contractor, or limo driver, or even my tax accountant gold coins for their services, they would gladly accept it. I guess you could say that is just barter, but those same people wouldn’t accept a goat or a coupon for 10 foot massages :)

I moved gold at Fort Knox in 1977 as temporary labor supporting a GAO / Treasury audit. There was quite a lot there. We moved / audited 47,000 bars that were in the 27# range. This was supposedly about 10%, which felt right, given all the sub vaults (we moved gold out of 2).
