um um holy shit yes kfc will take your gold when you walk in and buy a combo meal for 50 bucks, and thus your gold is worth squat.

"The artificial production of gold is the age-old dream of the alchemists. It is possible in particle accelerators or nuclear reactors, although the production cost is currently many times the market price of gold. Since there is only one stable gold isotope, 197Au, nuclear reactions must create this isotope in order to produce usable gold."
As you can see it can already be synthesized, and in a matter of time they will figure out a way to make it cheaply and gold will lose its value.
