<p>[QUOTE="Eminem, post: 2008693, member: 46576"]They don't actually know what gold is. If you give 99.5% of the population brass or fools gold, told them it was real, they will most likely think it's real gold. For most people, "gold" is just a description, a color-similar to yellow. Hell, most people think the new $1 coins are real gold even in a highly literate country like the USA. People do not realize that gold is a separate metal because they weren't taught that. Most people think all modern dimes, quarters, and nickels are silver. Just because you see educated people on a bullion forum that does not mean everyday people have a clue what they are talking about. This notion of people knowing what they are talking about has fooled you because of an availability heuristic. This is not representative of the human population as a whole.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
