Yes to courier a 10oz lump of gold interstate here in Australia costs $25 Australian plus insurance. One email and it's there tomorrow. I've got a transaction stuck in mempool for at least the next day with a $20 fee. This is only going to get worse.

how much does it cost to send it to places where the have no banks?

Not saying gold is the answer. I'm saying that as long as fees are set in ever appreciating satoshis while block rewards keep halving the cost of moving Bitcoin is going to become prohibitive except for increasingly large amounts. Tell me I've got that wrong please.
