What if China is being framed.
 Quoting: pool


The Chinese claim that in 1995—during the Clinton administration (Robert Rubin, Alan Greenspan and Lawrence Summers)—between 1.3 million and 1.5 million 400-ounce tungsten blanks were manufactured by a sophisticated refiner in the United States, amounting to more than 16,000 metric tons. Some 640,000 of these tungsten blanks were then gold plated and shipped to Fort Knox, according to the Chinese, where they are said to remain to this day. The Chinese contend that the remaining collection of these 400-ounce fakes was eventually gold-plated and then “sold” into international markets

I read, about 5 years ago, how China had basically hacked a philosophers stone and could create fake gold, so good, that it was almost undetectable.
 Quoting: 2012Portal


Yeah it's real gold when you buy it, then a year later it turns back into lead.

Kinda like fiat.

Re: HOLY SHIT! 83 Tons Of Fake Gold Bars: Gold Market Rocked By Massive China Counterfeiting Scandal!
Yet one market which seemed stubbornly immune to any counterfeiting was that of physical gold in China, which was odd considering that over the past decade China had emerged as the world's biggest counterfeiter of various, mostly industrial metals used to secure bank loans, better known as "ghost collateral", and which adding insult to injury, would frequently be rehypothecated meaning often several banks would have claims to the same (fake) asset.

All that is about to change with the discovery of what may be one of the biggest gold counterfeiting scandal in recent history. And yes, not only does it involve China, but it emerges from a city that has become synonymous for all that is scandalous about China: Wuhan itself

It's surprising they'd use copper instead of tungsten. Tungsten has a specific weight (density) very close to gold, difficult to tell them apart.
 Quoting: Blenderizer


I wondered the same! Maybe they were sealed containers, plastic sleeves etc. I don't know anyone who would take a 1oz gold bar out of a sealed plastic sleeve to attempt to test it. Let alone if they did they wouldn't scrape it for an acid test or cut into it for the same reason. Most people relish the quality of such a piece and handle them with kid gloves so to speak!
 Quoting: Don Draper from Nantucket


you weigh them idiot.

If copper the weight isn't even close.

Over the years, we have periodically reported of the occasional gold bar discovered as counterfeit in Manhattan's Diamond District which instead of containing the yellow precious metal would be filled with gold-plated tungsten or in some cases copper. The news would spark a brief wave of outrage, prompting physical gold holders to run ultrasound spot checks of their inventory, at which point interest would wane and why not: buyer, after all, beware in gold as in every other market, and if someone is spending thousands to buy fake gold, well that's Darwinism in action

Bulk gold is not handled with the kind of kid gloves you would handle stamped and polished collectors pieces.

So, this is good news for people who own physical gold, yes?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77590476


Not really, what you want if you own gold is for the government to end the manipulations in the future's market so that gold and silver can find true price discovery.

You want open and transparent markets, you don't want fraud. Fraud chases away people that you want to get involved. The more people involved demanding transparency the better the chances gold and silver will be used again as money.

Personally I think the CBs do these scams and hoaxes to dissuade people from protecting their savings with gold and silver.
