Fake 10oz Gold Bar Found in Manhattan 9-2012

Funny how this happened at this time because a few days ago I was talking to a friend and he asked... "how do you know you are buying real gold or silver?" My reply to him was to buy it from a reputable mint! There are many reputable mints out there and since they make the bars, you know what you are getting. This fake bar in the video was from a reputable company in NY and they even got scammed! You can't get screwed buying from the mint.

    I suppose it's because we got no "way" of creating gold, implying the quantity of gold on the planet is finite. It could be an other "rare" metal, but i suppose it's mainly because of our history (human).
