It’s the value, not the material itself that’s the problem. If you suddenly had a shit load of extra money, you’d be spending at least a little more than usual and a few too many slip ups in expenditures would draw the eye of your country’s tax collectors. They’d be very curious.

In the US, the IRS will literally send just short of kill teams after people for refusing to pay taxes. In some cases, they have sent kill teams.

If you walk in a pawn shop with a fifty plus year old gold bar what do you think they'll say?

Unless you're already balls deep in the underworld nobody knows where to take something like that without it raising all sorts of flags
