Do you mean this stuff?

I note that they've taken the page promoting fake gold ingots,
complete with labeling pages off the site. I wonder why?
Or do you mean the gold ingots cast around a tungsten core? Hey, if
you never have to use it for anything, other than to show that you've
got *lots* of gold, what's the diff if everyone believes you?
It's interesting that no one tries to fake rhodium, as it has
commercial use and would be quickly found out.
Maybe we can get the Chinese to make some fake old-growth rosewood...
