How?

for electronics

lots of electronics use gold

But in light's scenario

Electronics are also rare

can gold be used for disinfectant?
silver and copper used to be used for these things

Anyway

The main driving force for their value will be scarcity

If your scenario where modern agriculture or modern infrastructure collapses

Its scarcity and our lack of ability to mine more on an industrial scale such as before will drive up its value

Making it prime for new financial systems to use gold or silver backed currency as a medium of exchange

Rare =/= valuable, worthwhile

You know whst would be more worthwhile?

More valuable metals, food (preserved, perhaps)

Anything really

I'd argue thst by being so scarce, it'd be worth less than some more common things

As not enough currency would exist for everyone

this nigga out here advocating for a barter economy

We'd resort to bartering until a new state arises

At which point they'd likely issue their own currency

I dont think people struggling for survival will be in thr gold market tbh

we would trade with bottlecaps

That's unironically a better system

Caps are at least relatively plentiful, meaning they coule be somewhat widespread

Enabling enough currency for a population

They're also small easily defined units, compared to gold

Which just comes in weight (so unless you havr a scale, it's useless)

And doesn't have a standard "unit"

could be locally based as well, ie people that live near the ruins of coke factory use coke caps and people near beer ruins use beer caps

tfw beverages determing the new national boundaries

Drinks are more widespread

But caps are way easier thsn gold to use as currency

I mean, consider purity too

koolaid nation vs coke republic

Gold is only worthwhile as a short term investment in regards to gold prices

The same as stocks, really

@Light modern society can't adjust to the barter system

We're talking about a post-collapse society, @Asdrubal

Ofc presently actual money is ideal
