I might be being a little ignorant here, but how can a Gold Backed currency be a world reserve currency? I mean they'd need an aweful lot of Gold to back a currency to a degree where there would be enough of it for use in Global Trade as the primary currency? I don't think there is enough Gold in the world to back any single currency to the degree of the widespread use likened to the USD.
There is a way to find out how your BC and SS bonds are doing in the financial realm. Not real easy but it can be done.

And if the fed res goes bankrupt, what happens to all the mortgage backed securities they are holding, along with all the other debt they have purchased?

Don't worry about China . They are the most vulnerable bunch of people in the world beyond the people in India . The whole Middle East is so populated that any sort of a killer virus would be transmitted like a wild fire among the tightly packed people . A small famine caused by climate change would be deadly over there . Who knows how the bee thing will affect them . Then if America fell the Chinese would sink into a depression and we would nationalize our assets . The Federal Reserve will likely fail. I believe they can't produce the German gold to be returned . If it were in the Vault at the NY Fed Bank they could give it back now . Can the Federal Reserve go Bankrupt ? Watch them!
Chinese banks have rolled over at least three-quarters of all loans to local governments that were due to mature by the end of 2012, an indication of the immense challenge facing China in working down its debt load.

Gold only holds value whilst people are stupid enough to believe it is worth anything. Gold has very little use beyond electronics, Gold is a vanity product. People will not care less about Gold, when for example there is no food to eat. I wouldn't recommend eating Gold for Breakfast.
If China tried to go to a gold standard they would be destroyed economically and militarily
