Mmmm chocolate...
Auric Goldfinger was involved.
Mmmm chocolate...
old news; now their gonna use gold-plated depleted uranium bars,a tungsten-in-cheek move, not Kelly`s Heroes at all.
Gold, the new Fiat Currency....
Maybe we should be putting our money in Tungsten futures....
I have to wonder how many of these bars came from China... They Buy 500 bars of gold and with a little work turn it into 5000 bars fo 5 million bars then they launder it through various world gold markets...
Either that or this is a move by the NWO types to dillute the Gold Market...
Clinton’s fault?
I wonder where these gold companies that are trying to sell the stuff are using. Doubt anyone would cut in half a gold coin to see if real.

ChinaTungsten Online! “We are well accustomed to exploit more innovative applications of tungsten products. Gold-plated tungsten is one of our main products. “
fascinating
I woder if this had anything to do with the (unreported)electronic attack on the US financial system in September 2008. China calling in about $500 Billion worth of chips (and on the way to several trillion) before Paulsen shut it down
If it’s true or not, I think it is a way to make the consumer think twice about gold purchases. Keep the rubes out of the market while the central banks and the wealthy stock up at never to be seen again prices. hhhhhhhmmmm?
Couldn’t you easily detect tungsten by trying to stamp it? Gold takes a stamping easily, tungsten would not yeild. I gotta believe they have some sort of incoming QA to tell the two apart.
As an aside, my wife grew up in Attleboro where there are a lot of jewelry companies. The guy who transported gold for one of the big ones was an elderly man dressed like a janitor who drove it in the trunk of his old jalopy. People (in those days) knew enough not to gossip about things like that and he was never robbed.
Somebody made off with a lot of money and POWER.
Years ago, some folks made counterfeit Krugerrands by alloying platinum with copper to make a gold appearance. Eventually the price of platinum went so high, the counterfeit Krugers are now worth more than the real gold ones!
Looks like gold is near a short term peak again. This is the third tungsten scare noted on FR since November; previously, threads on March 2 and March 4 (keyword “tungsten” brings them up) absolutely perfectly bookended the March 3 top of about $1137.
Does anybody have a goldbug ping list? I can start one if we don’t have one and there’s interest.
The wealth of the republic and her citizens has been looted and the people left paupers. It won't take all that much longer for all of us to see just how broke we really are!
