Gold is the most malleable and ductile of all known metals........ A single ounce of gold can be beaten into a sheet measuring roughly 5 meters on a side....... Thin sheets of gold, known as gold leaf, are primarily used in arts and crafts for gilding.......... One sheet of gold leaf can be as thin as 0.000127 millimeters.......... or about 400 times thinner than a human hair........
