If the US$100 and US$50 are eliminated, the black market will switch to gold as its reserve currency, and operate as a de facto currency exchange for customers using other forms of payment.

Organized crime hawaladars will back a Bitcoin-like electronic transfer system, because actually moving around the physical gold too often is a pain in the ass, and exposes the shipments to additional risks.
