Gold is a much more reliable and stable option for investors than currencies, it has been observed.

Shelter Offshore noted that debates are taking place over global dependence on the US dollar, particular due to the uncertainty of recent times.

The portal highlighted gold as an alternative, explaining that it is already the closest thing there is to a super-national currency.

Suggesting that the precious metal has been a reliable "safe haven" in the past, it recommended that buyers consider it in the current economic climate.

"Gold is still proving to be a far more stable investment compared to what's going in on the current rollercoaster currency markets," Shelter Offshore commented.

Main Street recently argued that buying the precious metal can protect against inflation, as it will always be valuable regardless of what happens to currencies.

The portal added that those buying gold coins should be sure to store them securely.
