<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3713220, member: 15199"]Well I know rednecks who drive $80,000 pickups , so all aren't poor <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But I suspect any gold sold by a bank ( likely Foreign) because I am not sure if US banks still hold gold for their use, were ID by at least a serial number of the seller. Where they got the gold would be hard to trace. The commodity exchanges do not usually keep trace of their origins. I remember reading in the past that the various metal exchanges do not usually as they themselves have varied customers in the network. When certain coffee beans were not allowed in the US, a sample could be genetically tested to determine origin. Not possible with purified gold . Besides I would not put it past some exchanges to re-brand the bars, as its so pure, one could just melt it and pour into their own molds and no one could ever determine otherwise....maybe I am too skeptical .
