Like most countries in the world, Sweden keeps some of its currency reserves in gold, 125 tonnes to be precise. This is of course because the metal is valuable, but also because everyone agrees on more or less how much gold there is and how much may be sold every year. And that it will still be there if, for example, a powerful solar storm were to knock out all digital traffic and wipe all hard disks. It is plated after being brushed, producing an elegant, distinguished impression with depth.
