IS ALUMINUM MORE EXPENSIVE THAN GOLD? #GOLD

Yes. In the 19th century, aluminum was more expensive than gold.

This was due to the difficulty of obtaining aluminum. Although aluminum makes up about 8% of the Earth's crust and is found almost everywhere, it is so tightly bound to other substances that obtaining it in pure form was nearly impossible in the 19th century🔍

In 1852, a kilogram of aluminum was valued at 1200 US dollars, while a kilogram of gold was valued at 600 dollars.

It was cheaper to make spoons from gold than from aluminum🥄🍴

Thanks to technological progress, from 1852 to 1902, the price of aluminum fell from 1200 dollars to 1 dollar per kilogram😉👍

Who knows, maybe technologies will soon advance to the point where gold #GOLD can be artificially synthesized, making it much more accessible ❓😲
