Noble Metal: Gold is considered a "noble" metal due to the fact that it does not oxidize in normal conditions and is therefore free from the problem of rusting and tarnishing.

Gold is Recyclable: Gold is almost indestructible which implies that it is immune to physical destruction of any kind and can be recycled and used as many times by the owner.
