Gold is mainly just another form of investment/speculation. Many own gold in their portfolios as a 'hedge'. Bad times it goes up ... good times it goes down.
Some take delivery of actual bullion (or coins) while some keep it in 'paper' form.
If a meteor hits the earth or Gore is correct and the seas rise and flood all but Kansas and MO. (and the Alps) or some other catastrophic event globally occurs ...you can take all the gold, artwork, spoons, etc. and dump them in the ocean.
Last I heard, they are non-digestible.
(but keep your powder dry!)
