fiat currencies based on faith fall apart in the face of the challenges of a post-war apocalyptic world full of unpredictability and violence, especially when headed by corrupt NCR leaders who will gladly hyperinflate it's worth to keep their soldiers working for just long enough to preserve their political careers.
And gold does what exactly? It's just a shiny heavy metal that you can't really use for anything other than being heavy and shiny. In an apocalypse it's worth next to nothing, same as paper currency. Honestly, I could see bullets ending up as a currency in an apocalypse, far more so than something like gold.
