Mankind’s fascination with gold is as old
as civilization itself. Not only is gold beautiful, but it
is indestructible.
It will not rust. Gold coins and products have survived undamaged
for centuries. Gold is extremely easy to work with; one ounce,
which is about the size of a cube of sugar, can be beaten
into a sheet nearly 100 square feet in size, and becomes so
thin that light passes through it. Gold conducts electricity
better than any other substance except copper and silver,
and it is particularly important in the modern electronics
industry.
