We could only employ Gold to actual useful purposes instead of insisting on expensive money. That would reduce the price which would reduce the incentive to counterfeit. It would be immediately evident when one goes to employ Gold for its properties as Tungsten would alter the expected results. Also, Gold bars would no longer be in vouge since powder would be more efficient to employ and could be standardized fairly well.

Or you could simply stop checking. What does it matter other than you believe in its price? You won’t be doing anything with it other than confining it to a closed, restricted access location.

The easiest test would be thermal expansion. A pressure sensor on a plate attached to a small vice type tool > fix the tool to a known solid gold bar at the local room temperature with a specific pressure insert in boiling water > check pressure differential > perform same test with the unknown bar. There is sufficient difference between the expansion of gold from any normal room temperature to boiling at any location to that of tungsten to cause a marked difference in pressure at the sensor, even if the tungsten is only 10% of the thickness of the bar.

A resistivity test would be totally ineffective. The electron flow occurs mostly at the surface. A completely hollow bar would show the same resistance as a solid bar. As long as a sufficient thickness of gold is on the surface to support the flow the internal material is irrelevant. Even with extremely sensitive equipment, more variation could be found from slight differences in minute impurities in bars cast from different melts.

Rothschild stole all the gold in Fort Knox. They are most likely the culprit for the fake bars. They are ruthless criminals who have the manufacturing facilities to do this and they have at least half the gold in the world in their vaults. They have plenty of gold to put a thick plating on the tungsten bars. Rothschild owns and controls Israel, USA and nearly every central bank in the world, including the Federal Reserve Bank, they are the tribe. They will not even let congressmen in to see the gold in Fort Knox because it isn’t there. The Fed (Rothschild) is the core of corruption in the USA.

Selling gold coins- seen it in the mags an on tube,gold color coins man people are just well gullible.This story does not surprise me -a sucker born every day.

The moduli are different, therefore the speed of sound would be wrong. Also ultrasound would detect the boundaries between the gold and the tungsten.

Hells bells just buy paper gold and you don’t have to worry about tugsten… suckers.

Fight back

Google: ultrasonic gold Pamp

Start now.

Best for all.
