Gold is the easiest of the metals to work. It occurs in a virtually pure and workable state, whereas most other metals tend to be found in ore-bodies that pose some difficulty in smelting. http://www.onlygold.com/tutorialpages/historyfs.htm[/URL]

Fair enough.

Gold's early uses were no doubt ornamental, and its brilliance and permanence (it neither corrodes nor tarnishes) linked it to deities and royalty in early civilizationshttp://www.onlygold.com/tutorialpages/historyfs.htm[/URL]

  Danziger Goldwasser (German: Gold water of Danzig) or Goldwasser (English: Goldwater) is a traditional German herbal liqueur[22] produced in what is today Gdańsk, Poland, and Schwabach, Germany, and contains flakes of gold leaf. There are also some expensive (~$1000) cocktails which contain flakes of gold leaf.[23] However, since metallic gold is inert to all body chemistry, it adds no taste nor has it any other nutritional effect and leaves the body unaltered.[24]

So most of its value is because it is shiny. I suppose I should have googled it earlier.

"Believe it or not, gold is commonly used in the production of computer technologies, especially of memory chips.
The transmission of digital information is strongly dependent on the presence of gold. The metal is used in the motherboards of both desk PCs and laptops. This makes the computer more expensive but improves its performance."

"The visors of astronaut helmets contain gold, since it offers protection against the radiation in space."

"Electrical appliances and conductors are often made of gold. Gold is an excellent conductor and its malleability makes it especially useful. Wires, plates and connective elements are very often made of gold."
