Gold

This bar of gold is called the PAMP Suisse Fortuna Veriscan and weighs 1 Gram. Fortunately, for me this was a gift and it is the thought that counts.
The intention behind the gift is an interesting one, as it has been said in many cultures that to carry a piece of gold on your person is good luck and brings forth wealth. Personally, I have carried this piece of gold with me for a few years and good things have come my way. I found Steemit, right?
The goal is to actually carry a much larger piece and I will discuss another piece I have in the future. I do hesitate to carry a gold coin around, if only because there is theft everywhere and I would not want to have the coin stolen. If you have any thoughts or a personal philosophy on this, please share in the comment section.

To discuss the coin I am featuring further, the coin is encased in a tamper-evident card to ensure authenticity. PAMP scans each gold piece they create so there is no mistake of its origination. They actually have a database with all the information pertained in a scanning system. How cool is that? If SHTF, I doubt any of this matters but it's still a cool idea.
PAMP states the creation of this coin was inspired by:
The Roman Goddess Fortuna representing fortune, and personified luck in early Roman religion. The luck she could bring could be either good or bad, and there was no way of knowing.
The Fortuna bars created by PAMP are represented with a blindfold and hands outstretched to collect bounty from a cornucopia that sits atop her head.
If you are interested in purchasing Gold, JMBullionis a well known seller and you can purchase any coin with Bitcoin, personal check, bank account, bank card, or PayPal. I have no interest in this company, but while doing research I found this to be a fun fact. Peace.
