The History of Gold

Gold has been a means for trading since 600BC, it has also historically been used for making jewellery and for creating idols for religious worshipping.

Gold was typically used as a form of value storing, bartering and investing throughout history. It helped pave the way for the modern-day trading industry by allowing workers to specialise in different industries through swapping bullion for services or products.

Due to the rarity in Gold, it quickly grew to be more valuable in comparison to other precious metals, and is one of the most sought after mineral in the world today, as it is commonly seen as an alternative currency.

In Modern days, more then 50% of gold is used to produce jewellery and 40% is from physical investments. Commonly now you can find gold in jewellery forms, coins, bullion, medals and other collectables and now trades on a supply and demand base rather the traditional bartering system.
