Back in October, we told you about the Planet Money folks buying a small bit of gold. It was a bit of an experiment, designed at figuring out why gold remains so important, and why it becomes valued in times of economic uncertainty. Last week, they sold their gold. And they were left with a big question: "What is the fundamental value of gold?" They shared a little of what they learned about that value in a report on NPR's Morning Edition.
Take a listen.
