Unless high inflation topples the banks.

If one bank collapsed you can collect your non-can assets because they are custodians not owners.

If the entire system collapsed then you should be holding food, not gold.

Or hoard bullets and high explosives to redirect food from the rubes who collected gold.

And if the banks topple... good luck finding someone who will take your gold.

Yep they will be converting a couple hundred grams of lead into a gold fortune if society collapses if they're aware you're hoarding it :(
