Gold is such a strong and important currency because it will stand the test of time and can be recognized by cultures and communities across the gold as a valuable trading property that can be exchanged for just about anything in the global market. As we see the globalization process continuing in the world over the next several decades, we will see if the old adage of “gold is the strongest” remains intact as it has over the past several centuries. We can look back to the time of the Vikings, the Aztecs, and even the ancient Mali empire to find gold currency being exchanged for goods and services across cultures and traditions.
