Gold is only really accepted based on its trading value at any time, which in times of crisis with limited life essential resources can be very little.

When times are tough, and theres not much food about, bread will soon become more valuable then a hunk of gold that doesnt taste all too good.

Theres certain foods out there that could become very valuable. This includes Hemp Seeds, which are a highly nutritious, some argue complete, with claims of grown men surviving exclusivly on 1lb of these seeds over two weeks with nothing other then a supply of water. A little goes a long way in other words, with a high protein content and most if not all of the essential life sustaining amino acids we require for day to day living.

Sorry to go off topic with this one, i know your just interested on getting your hands on some gold. Ive talked to people who have great success by buying off reputable dealers on ebay. Its a good investment at the moment, even though it may be fiat to a certain degree, it will still hold subconscious value within the minds of the people and that alone will ensure that it holds its value as well as probably being the new currency (If **** really hit the fan at high speed)
