I am probably like everyone else when it comes to gold, I have some jewelry that is gold and few other pieces. Now you can listen to radio and TV and hear about the advantage to buy gold as an investment or what they call insurance against inflation. Gold have been around since the beginning of human civilation. This means gold has been a form of trade for over several thousand years around the world. It would be cool to own some gold. Maybe create a stash of some gold bars. A friend of mine has been into buying gold bars and then when he needed money he would then cash them out. Sometimes if he could hold onto them long enough he could make a good little profit, some of the times but not every time. The current price of gold is over thirteen hundred dollars per house. That is a huge amount of money for an once of metal. The above video is about the South African krugerrand.  The Krugerrand have no value and are made for being traded in other countries. Watch the video above on the Krugerrand of South Africa. I need some of these.  One coin that I have heard but never owned one, is the Swiss franc, these coins has been around over 500 years all made from gold.
