Everyone comes
into the world with a bit of gold to their name. Our bodies contain about 0.2
mg of gold. Most of that gold is diffused with our blood. However, you’d need
to bleed 40,000 people dry just to collect enough blood to make one 8g
sovereign.
Gold even found in plants like Douglas fir and
honeysuckle absorb it very efficiently from the soil. However, the amount of
money needed to extract that gold just wouldn’t be worth it.
The most abundant
gold mine on the planet is the sea where there are 10 million tons of the
shinny stuff just floating around.
