The Value of Gold Posted at 8/17/2010 11:10:00 PM 0 comments (+) Have you seen the movie Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief? Remember that part when Percy and his friends went to see Hades in the underworld. They had to convince the boatman to take them to Hades' lair so Grover handed him some dollar bills but he didn't accept it. But when Percy gave him some gold coins, he changed his mind in an instant and gave them a ride. I know it's just pure fiction but it just goes to show how valuable gold is. That's why if you're looking for a good and stable investment, buying gold coins and bullion is a smart choice.
