In truth, Gold isn't all that impressive when it comes to durability on the Periodic Table. It's quite soft and very dense, so making tools out of it is very impractical. Therefore, a different metal may be more practical, such as led or titanium. Infact, you could create a Nen ability based off of a slew of Metals from the periodic table, each with their own advantages, e.g., Led would be very heavy and dense, making it good as a projectile or blunt weapon, while titanium would be used like a shield, to protect the user.
