I keep part of my reserve in gold and silver, it's not terribly liquid, but my father suggested that it can always get you on a boat to leave the country. I guess it's the terribly paranoid part of my reserve. Gold might shit the bed, but it will always be worth something almost anywhere, that isn't necessarily true for many other forms of money.
