It looks like the US will have to melt down all the old gold bars and make new better gold bars.
We will find out just how much gold at Fort Knox and elsewhere is actually tungsten.

I can’t believe Trump has given up on his promise made in Feb. 2025 to visit Ft. Knox personally to see the gold there. And why is the Press not calling him on that promise?

As I’m sure you know, tungsten has a density very close to gold. Awhile back I was reading about a Chinese company that was openly selling gold-plated tungsten bars.

It was for “novelty purposes” their ad said.

Yeah, right.
