Well, for example in one scenerio he said you might be able to exchange one or more gold coins for a flight somewhere, and well I think this might happen.

If a pilot for example had a plane and fuel and no money because his credit card was shut down, he might exchange a flight somewhere for say 3 gold coins. It sure will go further than you bank card pin at that moment, or the person next to you with dollar bills under hyperinflation, worth a fraction of what they were before the plan landed back home when he goes to spend them.

You might not get full value, but it sure goes further than plastic.
