Gold!

Did you know that throughout history, gold has been used as a variety of different things. Probably considered the world's most precious metal, gold has been utilized as coinage, jewelry and other arts such as decoration for temples and tombs, masks, figurines and even teeth.

Before coming to a halt in the 30's, gold coins were a circulating currency. However, president Roosevelt confiscated Americans' gold in 1933. The gold standard was abandoned for paper and cheap metals. This lead to an enormous hike in the national debt which continues to climb today!
