Gold Bullion is nice, too. It's a store of wealth, a sleep-tight investment that'll come in handy when Armageddon arrives. But for crises that are somewhat less Armageddon-ish, Dollars are more useful. Think about it... •When terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center, the Dollar rallied 8% in six weeks. •When Lehman Brothers went belly-up, and the US banking system was on the verge of imploding, the Dollar jumped 10% in 10 weeks. •And last May, when a few algorithmic programs made computer trading go nuts on the New York Stock Exchange – resulting in a 1,000-point drop and recovery in the Dow in 15 minutes – it sparked an 8% rally in the Dollar over the following six weeks.
Essentially, there are three broad categories of gold investors: 1. Those who wish to hedge uncertainty and possible financial disaster 2. Those who wish to simply make a profit. 3. Those who wish to combine hedging with potential profit
#1 sounds like the paranoid tin foil hat type. #2 Can make a profit but has to be careful #3 could be the wisest choice.
What do you think will cost more? The loss of value of your FRN's by inflation? or The cut that the gold dealer charges when buying and selling gold?
Interest rate for gold is obviously below intra country interest rates. This is so precisely because it would encourage gold borrowing and let the central bank monetize in chunk through their colossal gold holdings.
Gold is definitely come in handy, for gold owners are able to have cash for gold at anytime; that is, selling their gold to have some cash in return. However, gold owner are to find the best gold liquidator company, which will give you money for your gold.

It doesnt happen anytime? how can you say that mate? Inflation is always there in the economy, you have to have inflation in order to grow your economy, you cant just eradicate Inflation out of the economy.The topic of debate is how much Inflation is good not that if there should be an inflation in the economy.
