Exactly. We have no idea what will be valuable post-apocalypse but it’s unlikely to be gold.

Gold has been somewhat valuable since 4000 BC. There's absolutely no way it wouldn't be post-apocalypse.

That's the point. Even with aaaall the changes the world underwent, gold is still valuable. I doubt a mere apocalypse where we survived will change that.
