Historic Facts of Gold as Currency
Alchemy is the ancient science where the practitioner actually believed that they would be able to transform common metal such as lead and coal to old. Their vision was not entirely foolhardy as they were actually correct. You can transform other forms of metal to gold, provided you have a nuclear reactor or a photon tube that bombards other heavy metals such as lead with electron to break the nuclei of that atom so hard that it relinquishes its proton in the nucleus and becomes gold.
On two occasions scientists have been able to convert other form of metals into gold. However the costing of converting gold via nuclear bombardment is too heavy not to mention too dangerous. It is simply not practical in the sense of nuclear particles. This age old alchemy has finally met the answer that these ancient chemists who spent their entire lives of trying to convert lead or other base metals into gold.
They never accomplished anything much besides establish the idea of converting these common elements to gold in the hope of becoming rich by selling gold that was converted to the monarchs or whomever were interested.
The Pandora’s Box however was only recently discovered by accident in an atomic accelerator. Gold has long been the object and desire of most men who have associated themselves with gold. Gold being the only tangible money has become so precious that eighty percent of the gold in the world is accounted for in logs. The other twenty percent is also logged as gold that has gone literally awl.
Be it in the insurance annals of the gold that has been stolen or that, that has been traded in the black market. Whatever it is the trade or commerce of buying gold or selling gold will always leave a trail. Gold has always drawn positive and negative attention to itself. Ever since gold become scarce, it has behind the biggest wars, murders, cheatings and deceit that has ever occurred in the last two thousand years.
Although the deceit committed by Judas against Jesus was on silver coins, that the Romans gave him, it seems Jesus was not worth gold during that time. Hence he has become priceless as silver and gold has values attached to them.
Rom alchemy, to atomic particle accelerators, to Judas to the government of the United States of America, it seems gold is always lurking closely
