What kind of things could a person carry to sell and how if they ever had to forcibly leave?

I read diamonds are worthless second hand.

Solid gold seems legit but not sure if coins or jeweler is best.

I saw something about getting gold chains to trade individual links in a emergency.

Are there any other good tips?

    To add that secret compartments in your accessoirs.
    My sling bag for example has 2 velcro pouches on each side of the band. You would think they are sewn shut but on closer expections they are actually vecroed.
    Using it as a emergency storage for some coins. Helped me once already.

    Not putting in a link until requested. No need to advertise :)

      I think I actually had a coat once with a hidden pocket like this that I didn’t know about until I had it for quite some time! It wasn’t big enough to hold a lot, but it was a very secret stash. Even some coats I have with inside pockets blend in very well, but those probably wouldn’t pass someone searching me at a checkpoint of any kind.

        My pouches are a sort of faux leather type of material. I couldn’t fill it with anything bulky but I could certainly get a small stack of 200€ bills inside without being bulky.
