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:

Last November, 35-year-old Leston Lawrence was found guilty of smuggling $190,000 worth of gold pucks, each the size of a small muffin, in his rectum over several months.

Maybe they should shape these "pucks" like shuriken?
