If people want to see what happens when a currency absolutely collapses (minus the whole Nazi thing) look at the Wiemar Republic. Gold was irrelevant than compared to bushes of corn, sacks of taters, oil, etc. Gold has little utility other than jewelry (not important in collapse) and sometimes in electronics apparently.
Gold's only worth is in its perception and its concentration, which to use the related Wiemar Republic failure, was that it was an easy payment to the people who sheltered/smuggled people out of genocidal areas.
And don't forget water for apocalypse survival.
