Nature of Gold
:
1. Gold is one of the rarest elements in creation with many unique characteristics that can not be replicated.
2. Gold is nature’s perfect shield against radiation.  Thus, the space capsule that carried Neil Armstrong to the moon was coated with gold.
3. Gold is an excellent reflector.  This application can be seen in the gold-powdered glass in the windows of buildings such as the Royal Bank tower in Toronto.  During summer months the reflection of the sun’s rays reduces internal cooling requirements, while in the winter, the heat generated in the building is reflected back into the building.  These reflective characteristics provide significant energy savings.
4. Gold is an ideal conductor of electricity in miniature circuitry.
5. Gold is very malleable for many fine applications such as thin coatings.
6. Gold is non-corrosive.  It does not rust or decay.
7. Gold is virtually non-destructible and everlasting.
8. Gold has been known throughout history as the most constantly marketable good at any time, anywhere in the world.
9. Gold is not a fiat currency or a liability or an obligation of any issuing entity.

Thus, Gold has been regarded as lasting money with its own inherent values
since the beginning of recorded history.

GOLD IS TREASURED IN EVERY WAY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
