What kind of things could a person carry to sell and how if they ever had to forcibly leave?

I read diamonds are worthless second hand.

Solid gold seems legit but not sure if coins or jeweler is best.

I saw something about getting gold chains to trade individual links in a emergency.

Are there any other good tips?

    Idk how long the US dollar will have high acceptance internationally. I mean it may not change much or it may change a lot, depending on what happens the next few years.

      Yeah the BRICS will make the dollar obsolete.

          Russia is trying to make business with poorer countries to prop up the falling ruble, etc. I don’t think the dollar or the euro has anything to be afraid of in the near future.
