# In photography, gold toners are used to shift the color of silver bromide black and white
prints towards brown or blue tones, or to increase their stability. Used on sepia-toned
prints, gold toners produce red tones. Kodak published formulas for several types of gold
toners, which use gold as the chloride.[26]
# As gold is a good reflector of electromagnetic radiation such as infrared and visible
light as well as radio waves, it is used for the protective coatings on many artificial
satellites, in infrared protective faceplates in thermal protection suits and astronauts'
helmets and in electronic warfare planes like the EA-6B Prowler.
# Gold is used as the reflective layer on some high-end CDs.
# Automobiles may use gold for heat dissipation. McLaren uses gold foil in the engine
compartment of its F1 model.
# Gold can be manufactured so thin that it appears transparent. It is used in some aircraft
cockpit windows for de-icing or anti-icing by passing electricity through it. The heat
produced by the resistance of the gold is enough to deter ice from forming.

Aurum Advisors Website :A total of 165,000 tonnes of gold have been mined in human
history, as of 2009. This is roughly equivalent to 5.3 billion troy ounces or, in terms of
volume, about 8,500 cubic meters, or a 20.4m cube.

Although primarily used as a store of value, gold has many modern industrial uses
including dentistry and electronics. Gold has traditionally found use because of its good
resistance to oxidative corrosion and excellent quality as a conductor of electricity.

The technique of immunogold labeling exploits the ability of the gold particles to adsorb
protein molecules onto their surfaces. Colloidal gold particles coated with specific
antibodies can be used as probes for the presence and position of antigens on the surfaces
of cells. In ultrathin sections of tissues viewed by electron microscopy, the immunogold
labels appear as extremely dense round spots at the position of the antigen. Colloidal gold
is also the form of gold used as gold paint on ceramics prior to firing.

This improves definition of the position and topography of the specimen surface and
increases the spatial resolution of the image. Gold also produces a high output of
secondary electrons when irradiated by an electron beam, and these low-energy electrons
are the most commonly used signal source used in the scanning electron microscope

Contact Aurum Advisors : Now is the time to acquire not only gold bullion coins but
the highest quality gold bullion coin - the 24-Karat American Buffalo Coin.

For years, you only had the option of purchasing 22-karat gold when buying American
gold bullion coins. Because 24-karat gold is softer, it was seen as undesirable to create a
bullion coin that could be easily damaged when circulated even though we haven’t used
gold coins in transactions since the 1930’s. American gold coins have always had copper
and silver mixed in for durability. Because of stiff competition in the gold investing
world Congress authorized the production of the American Buffalo in order to compete
with Canadian gold bullion coins and gold bullion coins produced by other nations.
GoldCoinsGain.com is pleased and honored to be an authorized seller of the new
American Buffalo 24-karat gold coin.

There is an age-old tradition of biting gold to test its authenticity. Although this is
certainly not a professional way of examining gold, the bite test should score the gold
because gold is a soft metal, as indicated by its score on the Mohs' scale of mineral
hardness. The purer the gold the easier it should be to mark it. Painted lead can cheat this
test because lead is softer than gold (and may invite a small risk of lead poisoning if
sufficient lead is absorbed by the biting).

Aurum Advisors Website The ISO 4217 currency code of gold is XAU.

Modern bullion coins for investment or collector purposes do not require good
mechanical wear properties; they are typically fine gold at 24k, although the American
Gold Eagle, the British gold sovereign, and the South African Krugerrand continue to be
minted in 22k metal in historical tradition. The special issue Canadian Gold Maple Leaf
coin contains the highest purity gold of any bullion coin, at 99.999% or 0.99999, while
the popular issue Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coin has a purity of 99.99%. Several other
99.99% pure gold coins are available. In 2006, the United States Mint began production
of the American Buffalo gold bullion coin with a purity of 99.99%. The Australian Gold
Kangaroos were first coined in 1986 as the Australian Gold Nugget but changed the
reverse design in 1989. Other popular modern coins include the Austrian Vienna
Philharmonic bullion coin and the Chinese Gold Panda.

Aurum Advisors The design on the reverse by Miley Busiek captures a bald eagle
swooping into a nest holding its family. The scene is meant to symbolize many classic
American concepts.

Minting Information Gold Eagles are made only from gold mined in the United States.
The coins are minted using 24-karat gold plus small amounts of alloy to ensure a
minimum of scratching and marring; the result is a 22-karat overall composition. Each
one-ounce Gold Eagle contains one full ounce of pure gold.
