What makes gold so great? The good people at Visual Capitalist have done a great job answering that question with a new infographic called The History of Gold.

Starting with ancient Egypt, this very cool image traces the impact gold has had over the centuries including gold rushes, the creation of the gold standard and details on the current gold reserves around the world.
