Gold is a heavy metal that can be made into different things, like jewellery. (p.5)
Gold is a metal that can be found in the ground. It is the only yellow metal found on Earth. It has been used by people for more than 6000 years. About 3000 years ago, the Chinese started yo use gold as money. Over time, people all over the world started to use gold as money. About 2500 years ago, the first gold coins were made in a country called Lydia. About 2000 years ago, the Romans staarted to make gold coins. In the early 1900s, gold started costing too much. Coin makers than started to other metals to make coins. Todays, few coins are made from gold. Most coins are made from nickel, copper, silver and aluminium.
Gold is very valuable because it is rare. It means that there is not a lot of it in the world. And, things that are rare are valuable because people pay a lot of money for them. I want many money!!! I want be a rich peason!!!
