That is an interesting question. Gold isn't very chemically reactive, so I don't know that it would have that much affect on chemistry unless it were so common that it got in the way of other chemicals reacting. The Earth's core is mostly iron, but if we had this much gold, I wonder if much of...

Gold is denser than lead, 19.3 g/cc as opposed to 11.3 g/cc. That is 70% denser, which is quite a big difference. Gold is slightly more dense than uranium. A gold bullet of the same size would be 70% heavier and so carry more energy and momentum assuming you achieved the same mussel velocity. A...
