a significant percentage of the population was out panning gold every day to survive the Great Depression.

rather than making gold worthless, it made it far more desired and accessible to most americans. They just had to spend it as fast as they got it since they weren't allowed to keep it.

My grandpa panned gold on cherry creek in denver all day to buy a can of beans and a slice of bacon.

I've panned cherry creek, I can get .5-1 grams per day there. Imagine a world where $100 worth of gold buys a can of beans and a slice of bacon. That's the world of the great depression.

you think because you've never seen it, it can never happen. Literally normalcy bias.
