Not only that, look at the way gold is traded in the market today, it isn't just the true gold supply that is causing the wild price swings.

The value can drop 10-15% in a week. How the hell would a MFG know how to price his goods? Many products have over a year of lead time and a rather small unit product margin.

But maybe it would make them worse. Don’t know.

You've got it exactly backwards. Gold is stable, currency is not.
