Uses of Gold

Jewellery is still the most common way gold reaches consumers.

Throughout history, gold has been seen as a symbol of wealth and used for financial transactions. The first purely gold coins are believed to have been manufactured in the Asia Minor kingdom of Lydia in 560 BC. This tradition continues today and gold is still the most popular precious metal for investments.

Gold has been used in dentistry since 700 BC. It is chemically inert, easy to insert and non-allergenic in nature and therefore highly suitable for fillings, crowns, bridges and orthodontic appliances. The gold used in dentistry is predominantly white gold, usually 15 karat or higher, or a gold alloy.

Gold is used to lubricate various mechanical parts, in circuitry to conduct electricity and to coat the insides of spacecraft to protect people inside from infrared radiation and heat.

Gold is a dependable, highly-efficient conductor and connector, and it does not corrode making it perfect for use in circuitry. A small amount is found in almost all electronic devices, including cell phones, televisions, calculators and global positioning system (GPS) units.
