This story was first broken by the CBC.

You can test your gold with kits like these.

that dosn't help when they drill out the gold bars and insert tungsten rods. Undetectable in density tests and acid tests the only way to know is cut them in half

It's not a bar in the story, it's a wafer.

You're correct, especially when you're talking about the fat bars you see in a "Fort Knox" (I know, a cliché, there's probably not much gold left there) type scenario.
Most bars owned by normal folks will be the thin type that look more like rectangular coins. I guess it would be harder to hide tungsten in those.
The acid test has worked for the faked Canadian bars.
Article is worth reading. Sample:
Maybe they should shape these "pucks" like shuriken?

Sounds like a plot to get people to buy a bunch of gold testing kits.

It wasn't certified, it was counterfeit in a counterfeit assay package. China pumps this crap out.

Sell your gold now. Buy up "sporting equipment" and make yourself useful.

This is russian and Chinese propaganda trying to artificially simulate demand for bitcoin. Read it and get a feel for what this propaganda feels like folks

They also mentioned this on CBC, so unless the Canadians are trying to hurt their own gold market then it doesn't make sense.

Canadafag here. This is a legit story in the Canadian press right now. RBC is a hated bank here and are known to rip people off and break the law, so there's a lot of vitriol for them in Canada over this. It's telling the RBC wouldn't take it back since it should be a like for like exchange (money for gold of the same value). They know it's fake. And the Mint is pissed because they tried to make it look like it came from there.

Not what I'm talking about. But I suppose if they had a rep. Still though, China and Russia are going to eat it up

Who gives a fuck, you cant eat gold. What do you want with it? Are you working for the Annunaki, or what?
