AUSTRALIA - OCTOBER 09: Gold nuggets are displayed at the Perth Mint, in Perth, Australia, on Thursday, Oct. 9, 2008. Gold fell for the first time this week in London as investors sought to raise cash on speculation that a coordinated cut in lending rates by central banks will fail to restrain interbank borrowing costs.
