Counterfeit Gold Bars

From Zero Hedge.

 

We posted here at JustThinking some months ago about tungston filled gold bars being discovered in Europe.

Within that post was a link to a Forbes piece in which they opined that this was a one off deal and that it was higly unlikely that anyone would go to the trouble of counterfeiting gold bars on a large scale.

After we got up off the floor from from our uncontrollable fit of rib breaking laughter, we offered the opinion that it was bars measured in kilos and up that would be of concern.

On behalf of both Forbes and ourselves.

Oopsies!

At least ten counterfeit ten ounce bars have been discovered on Manhattan Island in New York City.

 

      

 

Now, here's the real interesting part ... at least to us.
