They weren’t even filled with Chocolate? That’s just mean. If you’re going to use fraudulent bullion, it should at least be filled with chocolate.

Yes, I’m from New York; why do you ask?

(The worst thing about gold-coin chocolate: it was almost always that nasty, waxy chocolate.)

This tungsten thing cracks me up. This and similar stuff is why I only do physical junk silver. I just keep buying the stuff. Maybe some day I’ll sell. I dunno...

Nobody deserves this more than the Red Chinese; they’ve been pushing lead-painted junk and disposable clothing (wear it once and it melts) on the world for decades.

Yup. For fun, whenever gold comes up in conversation I tell people to google the words gold, China and Tungsten together for a good laugh.

The consignment, in 14 cases, was escorted by his staff and delivered from Ghana on a chartered flight late last month.

I think I see the problem.
