These bonds are adjusted every year to account for inflation. If you are also actually worried about US dollar decline versus other currancies I would suggest diversification into other currencies. Gold has historically had a low return. I personally would avoid it. in 1988 years ago gold was about $400 at todays price of about $845 that is a 112% return or about 3.80% per year. Inflation for the same period averaged 3.06% so you did gain against inflation, but not by much. There are a lot of investments that returned a far greater amount.

There are some gold ETFs you might research. Junior mining stocks should do well if gold stays in a bull market. Research is critical here.
