In March, certain corners of the Internet exploded when a one-kilo gold bar was allegedly found to have been "salted" with Tungsten, a metal with a similar weight but far less valuable.

 

In other words, a gold bar was filled with a much cheaper metal to defraud buyers. An ounce of gold is worth $1,766, while an ounce of Tungsten is worth about $360.

>could all be gold leaf

I doubt gold leaf as that would be too easy to detect. However, salted gold bars such as in the image I posted would be more difficult to detect.

All this, however, may be moot as we don't even know if there is any gold at all in Fort Knox. There have been rumours for years that the cupboard is bare.

Well, let's hope it's not the equivalent of Napoleon at Waterloo.

Incidentally, the Rothschilds made a fortune from that, sending a rider to London to claim the British had lost. The stock market crashed and the Rothschilds bought up the stock for a pittance. Now, where have I heard that before?
