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

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

Are there any other good tips?

There are random bitcoin/crypto ATMs in some major cities.
So probably there. Dunno if they require an account.
