In Korea, gold is sometimes called nodaji, which is the Korean pronunciation of no-touch. When Americans came to Korea, they employed some Koreans to mine the gold out of Korean soil. When any gold was found, afraid that the Korean miners would "steal" the gold, the Americans would point at the gold and yell, "No touch!" Except, the Korean miners, misunderstanding the intent, went home and told their family that they learnt a new English word! Gold is notouch, or nodaji, in English!

And that is why anything related to gold will always make me think of that phrase.
