    Did you see my comment? GOLDDDDDDDDD!!!
    Gold is awesome because it's the only gold color in metal and it's pretty. Other colors are mostly silver or gray or dark colors. I don't know, I just love gold. And yellow. That's why my name is "spark" and it's yellow!
    xD
    GO GOLD

      Did you read mine? I said it is good for making things look pretty but it is not very strong. So beside cosmetic use it is pretty worthless.

        Gold is used in a great deal of electronics and for low resistance electrical contacts due to it's nonexistent oxidation levels.

        Despite it's relative (to other metals) uselessness, it is still widely regarded as a currency.

        Oh and how about dentistry?

          It's used in space helmets to block radiation too. It has a lot of space-related applications.

          Dont they usually use mercury? Gold teeth look rather tacky. Even my teeth are all silver not gold. I know they use gold sometimes but I do not think that is normal practice. I have had cavities and none that are gold.

              Well they changed to the white ones a few years ago but I had teeth issues since I was small. I also have a habit of chewing and grinding my teeth.

        Of course I read yours, that's why I replied to it...
        And it is very strong; it's soft because it's just made that way out of nature. Soft does not mean not strong. And it's very useful for all kinds of things. And so are other metals. All I said was that gold is my favorite!
        :D

        I totally agree with NotStrangeBird!
