<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 25534460, member: 104064&quot;]Put me in the &quot;you can&#039;t eat it&quot; camp as well. It&#039;s a medium of exchange, same as paper currency, buckskins, beads and cowry shells. It also has the benefit of being shiny, an unusual color for a metal, soft and easily made into vain ornaments, and not that common for ancient people to find. Hence it&#039;s enduring &quot;value&quot;, which is only the value we assign to it relative to anything else that&#039;s relatively useless for survival. </p><p><br /></p><p>The three times we&#039;ve been evacuated due to wildfire, I never once thought to grab the gold. My spouse has probably a dozen gold chains given to her on our wedding as the traditional thing, but neither of us even thought about it. Grab the clothes, important papers, get the cars out, etc. Gold? Who gives a flip. I&#039;ve always grabbed the coin collection though. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think many of us understand that the original point of this thread was to &quot;pump up the volume&quot;, which is how it always goes with gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
