Key Dates in Gold Price History

There were many chaotic events in the world, but the only thing that roughly stayed the same was the gold. At the beginning, gold was used as a currency; nowadays, it is used on the international trade more as an investment than as an actual purchase. The majority of people see gold as the most important investment one could make.

Everybody knows about the gold Rush, when people who mined for gold and found it became instantaneously rich. In the 19th century, these periods of gold rush was very useful to the establishment and the flourishing of cities, due to the people who were attracted by the mines of gold. Some examples of such cities are San Francisco and Melbourne.

In the 20th century, the gold standard was established. What is the gold standard? It is a gauge for all the other currencies used in world trade, meaning that the value of the dollar, for example, depended on that of the gold. After the 1970s, when the US stopped attaching the dollar to the golden standard, the gold had its own price, and thus was more attracting to those who wanted to invest in it. The peak of its value was in 1980 - $850 per ounce. Then, it is decreased to the lowest price ever, in 1999 - $253/ ounce. After 9/11, 2001, it increased again, to $715/ ounce in 2006 and broke the record on March 17th, 2008 at $1023.50/ ounce.

One can only wait to see how the gold price evolves because of the US economic downfall and the immense financial bailouts of the governments, who eventually led to the world financial crisis. One can see that people don't actually invest anymore in gold, but what they do is to collect rare gold coins, whose value will increase even more.
