I've never understood the "own gold" thing. I can't eat gold. I can't drink gold. If things get as bad as you describe, we'll probably be on a barter system. I won't want your gold, I'll want to trade my labor or expertise** -for example- for some oranges or potatoes, or maybe a water filter.

**Probably not as a failure analysis engineer...too esoteric if we're in a barter situation. But I'm a trained physicist, which could be useful if you want to know how to build -for example- an AC motor.
