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.

Gold can work, if things have come back together enough for a monetized economy at all. But it can be
too rare. That's one of the reasons some societies historically have chosen to use silver.
Note that it's conceivable that refined metal in general in such a setting could be valuable enough to make a viable currency.
