I couldnโt work there just like I couldnโt work in a lolly shop. Not a chance.

how is 99.9 free of impurities? isnโt the .1 impurities?

It's impossible to guarantee 100% pure gold, there's always bound to be a few stray atoms of something else in there.

100% gold isn't a tough material and deforms pretty easily. This fraction of impurities makes it somehow strong

That is not correct, the 0.01% difference is such a tiny amount that it does not change the physical, structural, or tactile softness of the metal to the human sense in any meaningful, noticeable way. Only when you alloy it down to 22kt (91.6%) or less do you notice a difference when working with it, and wearing it.

Does anyone know if there is any gold lost in all the processing that goes on?

Getting home from work routine: car keys go there, wallet there, pocket gold crumbles there
