<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1317236, member: 27832&quot;]I&#039;m not seeing this. It&#039;s certainly true for <i>gold</i> -- the only non-precious metal that&#039;s close to gold in density is tungsten, and that&#039;s so hard to work that it&#039;s unlikely to turn up in coins. Lead&#039;s denser than silver, and can be alloyed with a host of lighter metals to match exactly for density. It won&#039;t have the conductivity or the ring, but nobody&#039;s likely to carry a conductivity meter sensitive enough to detect the difference, and dropping valuable coins on a hard surface is generally frowned upon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
