I think gold would be a good currency option for the basis of an after the end economy. When I get a minute I will detail why I think that.

Start with the fact that it isn't perishable. One thing you don't want in a medium of exchange is a tendency to rust or rot on the shelf. Gasoline, ammo, food, these are barter commodities but they aren't currency. Even if you don't use them they'll become worthless in a few years.
