Since the prehistoric time, people had used gold in trading and as a value keeping asset. Gold had been managed to maintain its value through the ages.

Besides, gold is one of the oldest precious metal that have been used for investment, currency, commodity and an object of beauty all around the world. By the time, gold had been widely recognised as the standard form of medium of exchange for international trade.
