Gold

Gold has traditionally been seen as a store of value, precisely because it is not subject to the whims of governments and central banks as currencies are. Gold prices are not influenced directly by either fiscal policy or monetary policy and would always be worth something, unlike a currency that could end up being almost worthless, for example; because of rampant inflation. Further, gold has an emotional attachment that can make it different from other investments.
