<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Info Sponge, post: 1135344, member: 20538&quot;]In post-WWII Europe, so badly collapsed that starvation was threatening, there was still a medium of exchange. It was cigarettes, not gold, but it shows that a disaster has to be really bad before people give up on any kind of money.&nbsp; In an economic disaster, like the ones Ravisaurus pointed out, moneychangers may emerge as they did in ex-Yugoslavia. One of those might well be interested in accumulating gold for later, and would trade you cigarettes or foreign currency or whatever was in widespread use in exchange for precious metals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
