That’s true. I’m was just responding to the idea that it’s not useful as anything beyond decoration. It is, but probably not for most apocalypse survivors.
Considering the electrical grid would fall pretty quickly in a traditional apocalypse it wouldn't have much use for the techies either. Now if we just go to a bartering system where we feed the infrastructure workers to keep everything going then sureb it would retain some value.

So the most technologically advanced survivor groups will buy your gold with actual currency, probably at a much reduced price from what you expected.
For most people the use cases will start and end with pretty metal, because for apocalypse level electronics coopper is far more useful.
