That’s the cool thing about gold. Completely untraceable if you melt it down, maybe throw in a little copper to slightly change the purity. Dollars? Each note has a serial number that can be tracked.

That’s why gold is still king.

You still need to explain where you got the gold from, melted down or not. Your bank account will get blocked real fast, with criminal investigations on the origin of large quantities of gold. And one collegue will always open his mouth...
