Essentially gold has been used the same way 2000 years ago as it is used today. Gold is used for making jewelery, and serves as a metal for decorative purposes. Gold bullion is still used as a monetary substance for the payment of international debts. Banks such as the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, store the gold bullion of many countries in the 6 stories below vaults for international payments. Gold coins minted for monetary value still exist and gold is also used to mint so coins that have no monetary uses but are made to commemorate certain events. Gold also now and through the ages has been used for dental purposes. 2000 years ago gold served for the most part the same ways it is used today.
