Here's an extensive introduction to advice on where novices should begin, the dangers and benefits of each approach, and gold , from how it is obtained by us to to invest in it and why it's valuable. It was difficult to dig gold and the harder something is to obtain, the greater it is valued. Over time, people started using the metal as a way to facilitate trade and accumulate and store riches. In reality, early paper monies were generally backed by gold, with each printed bill corresponding to an amount of gold held in a vault someplace for that it could, technically, be traded (this rarely happened).
