The Rationale of Usury in the Exchange of Gold

Question
Why is the exchange of gold considered a type of usury?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: because it is an exchange contract that must involve immediate exchange and equality, for example, like for like, and hand to hand in the same session; otherwise, it would be usury, and God knows best.
