Funny thing, gold... We've apportioned an arbitrary value to an essentially useless commodity exclusively for the purpose of trading. Its not even rare and no longer backs currency.

They are even making bloody unipak wheels out of it.

Good point well made, but it's not bloody useless actually - check out the engine bay of the McLaren F1. Lined in 24 carat gold because it's the best conductor of heat. A trifle pricey for the average household radiator.
