Well, when a country suffers from a devalued money, like the Zimbabwe dollar or as the Euro drops and the US dollar would be worth far less if it were not for China saving the dollar value due to linking in value. Did you know the US dollar has lost over 95% of its value since it was first released. That is right, that dollar buys less than 5% of what it once did, notice how prices go higher or you are getting less food for the same money. Meanwhile gold price is going up.
Best bet, buy gold now because those who are right now going through bad paper money devaluation need gold. Central banks also hold gold an NO OTHER ITEM as a backstop. So if it is good enough for those whose money is worthless and central banks have gold, then you too should be buying physical gold right now. This article is a good eye opener for those who have never lived through a currency collapse because nothing of any real value backs the Euro, the US dollar, etc. Gold has real, tangible value for many thousands of years.
FACT: Did you know the Federal Reserve dollar product is actually the THIRD central bank the USA has tried. That is right, two other 'dollars' have collapsed and are now worthless.
