California
The Golden State.
The sign for gold is sometimes used as the sign for California. Instead
of starting with a "five" handshape, the sign for gold starts with
an index finger pointing at the earlobe. But this is a
"flexible" sign. Some people use the index finger as the first
handshape in the sign for California; other people use a "five
handshape."
Even though, in the picture, you see me signing this with a "five
hand" I tend to just sign "gold" using
the index finger and "y" handshape to mean, "California."
