Gold has been discovered on every continent on earth. Gold melts at 1064.43° Centigrade. It can conduct both heat and electricity and it never rusts. Due to its high value, most gold discovered throughout history is still in circulation. However, it is thought that 80% of the world’s gold is still in the ground. Seventy-five percent of all gold in circulation has been extracted since 1910. A medical study in France during the early twentieth century suggests that gold is an effective treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Gold is so pliable that it can be made into sewing thread. An ounce of gold can be stretched over 50 miles. 1 ounce (28 g) of gold can be beaten out to 300 square feet This Information Can Be found at : www.webelements.com
