Fake gold bars turn up in Manhattan - New York News | NYC Breaking News

For the moment, I'll not buy $18,000 gold bars.

Darn it, and I was just about to buy a whole stack of those.

I'd be a terrible gold counterfeiter.

Gee, someone's doing evil things with gold globally, and guess who shows up with more gold knowledge than an alchemist?
