Why Is Gold So Valuable? (And What’s Its Symbol?)

TL;DR: Gold is a rare, shiny metal that doesn’t tarnish, making it perfect for jewellery and coins. Its chemical symbol is “Au,” from the Latin word “aurum,” meaning “shining dawn.” People have valued gold for thousands of years because it’s beautiful, durable, and can be used as money.
