Hypothetically, finding the gold bars is a massive pain in the ass.

Without identification, the value of the bars drops off a shitload.

You can't just shave off the serial numbers and then sell them.

You can't just resmelt them either, the bars are cast at over 1000°C, and even then, the bars have unique imperfections (deliberate) which make them easily identifiable.

Use the paper money to get some gems, cast jewelry with it. Or ask the people doing Trumps plumbing.

I tried to find how much of a premium traceable gold carries but wasn't able to. Got a good surface for how much?

[-] Zozano@aussie.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

Untraceable gold loses about 10% of its value. But that's assuming you're a reputable seller, trading with a reputable buyer.

If you're a nobody, selling to someone who knows what theyre doing, expect to lose 25% or more for the risk incurred. But honestly, you're not realistically finding anyone reputable, you're finding someone else who wants the burden of finding someone else to sell it to, so expect to lose more.

But then throw on top the cost of the crucible, moulds, furnace, and losses incurred from inexperience trying to remove the traceable imperfections... As I said, its a massive pain in the ass...
