Gold is good in Barter Town. Let see now I will give you the wife for 6 boxes of shells 3 loaves of bread and 1 pound of sugar. But I don't want the wife...so come back with some Gold. So you trade the wife for some Gold.. which gets you your stuff.
Also Gold is easier to move around than some ornery ole wife...just put it in your pocket and go..
