When we're travelling to countries with a considerable percentage of citizens of dubious character  we still wear the wedding rings - mostly to "prove" we're actually married and allowed to sleep in the same room...
And instead of portable gold or cash (if any) for bribes (borders, police) we carry a few bottles of really crappy whiskey - which we used on our last trip to bypass a 24hr waiting line at the Ukranian/Russian border.
