Gold

Gold (chemical symbol: Au) is a dense, soft shiny yellow metal, with a high value as money and is used in jewellery.
==History==
The most common use for gold in the wizarding world was in the Galleon coin. The Charlatan in the tale of Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump was given a sack of gold for his services, and Babbitty Rabbitty herself was also erected as a gold statue. The legendary Philosopher's Stone could be used to transform base metals into gold, implying that gold couldn't be produced by standard means of transfiguration, hence its value as currency.
==Behind the scenes==
*Unlike copper, silver or iron, gold does not oxidise and tarnish, hence its long reputation as a supposedly "perfect" substance.
