I don't believe you can cash them....which is odd since there doesn't seem to be a lot of things to buy with gold.

You can purchase a fair few items with gold instead of cash, I've done it several times yet off the top of my head I cannot recall if you press and hold LT/L2 to 'buy with gold' instead of cash. 

 

Please, for the love of all things that are horsey, do not use gold to buy consumables like tonics, I can't think of a scenario where it's worth having to do that. 

 

When I was around level 30'ish, I saw I could press a shoulder button down and purchase a Bison Duster coat for like 40 gold, instead of the normal 8 gold you'd be spending at the level it unlocks (something like level 90 not sure). Again, I don't think it's worth it unless you're a wild west fashionista and are happy to sweat your bollocks off and watch your health core diminish in the warmth that is most of the red dead map. 

 

Level 61 now, it's still 40 gold to purchase ahead of time.
