The W bars should sound different from gold when tapped by a hammer because it is stiffer. It rings. Just in case any of us were tempted to go out and buy a bar.

W density is 0.4% less dense than gold.

I have a large statue of a bird of prey cast in gold, covered with black paint to disguise it. It’s the stuff dreams are made of.
