Gold was a shiny, warm yellow-colored metal that was valued by sentient beings on some worlds. It could be turned into forms of currency, like the peggat and the wupiupi, or fashioned into jewellery. On Tatooine, water was such a scarce commodity that it was considered to be more valuable than gold.
While valuable on some planets, gold, by the time of the Clone Wars, was mostly used in manufacturing. The Techno Union was known to use gold in droid manufacturing during the Clone Wars. The sashin-leaf mead and the wax secreted by Vashkan apidactyls had a color comparable to that of gold, as did the chromium finish of C-3PO's plating. Tibanna was considered to be a gaseous gold.
The real chemical element, gold, is symbolized in the periodic table of elements by the letters "Au." This inspired the naming of a similar element in the Star Wars universe: Aurodium.
