[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 5184862, member: 112"]:rolleyes: [ATTACH=full]1213237[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1213238[/ATTACH] (b) A person owning gold or silver bullion may deposit the bullion with the Secretary to be cast into fine, standard fineness, or unrefined bars weighing at least 5 troy ounces. When practicable, the Secretary shall weigh the bullion in front of the depositor. The Secretary shall give the depositor a receipt for the bullion stating the description and weight of the bullion. When the Secretary has to melt the bullion or remove base metals before the value of the bullion can be determined, the weight is the weight after the melting or removal of the metals. The Secretary may refuse a deposit of gold bullion if the deposit is less than $100 in value or the bullion is so base that it is unsuitable for the operations of the Bureau of the Mint. If anyone wants to look for themselves - have at it. [URL]https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/31/5121[/URL][/QUOTE]
