The gold was supposed to be symbolic of Jesus being king. The frankincense was used for temples so that may be a symbol of Jesus being the high priest.. The myrrh.. I think the last wise man ate up all the chocolate covered macadamia nuts along the way ;D Wise crack..

What an idiotic question ! Since we are neither The 3 Wise Men, Joseph, Mary or the Baby Jesus we will never truly know. It is none of our business either ! Meshesha

Mary spent the money on buying Joseph's forgiveness for her becoming pregnant when he had not yet known her; Mary paid the guy who really impregnated her to move to Damascus and never call her again; and the frankincense and myrrr was used to mask the strong odour of good Jerusalem ganja.

that is obviously not a very important detail. maybe mary and joseph sold it to have money or just kept it as a momento of the gifts that were given the night Jesus was born.

These were probably sold so the family could provide for Jesus, as they did go to Egypt.
