A... Gold quarter? Is this actual currency?

[Bisjac]

a gold coin (standard coin-gold of 90%) the size of a quarter would cost nearly 300 dollars.
there is no way they would use gold on currency.
they removed silver from currency because it was to high in value. they cut down on copper% used in coins.
im betting by 2013 minting, they wont be using nickel anymore.

soon all coins will be made of steel ; ;

when im doing my smelting i never forget with zinc lol. if you burn it even slightly to hot, it turns into a poisonous gas.
though its the easiest of the metals to separate, as all you gotta do is cook it to death.

Osht well we did it in the beginning of the school year so I may be wrong on the process but I do remember using zinc powder

Damn Bisjac did you get like straight As in chemistry or something

It's not even advanced chemistry. I don't understand what he is talking about though, Zinc will turn into ZnO at a lower temperature than it takes to boil it. Zinc Oxide is a white powder, actually I'm pretty sure they mix it with water to make a paste and put it on peoples faces as sunscreen. So I don't know why he thinks heating zinc makes poisonous gas, unless you're combining it with nitric acid or something.

Me and my dad made a solution with copper in it, and then electroplated a nickel with copper. It is pretty cool.

I have a gold dollar coin, and quite a few collector's coins, like gold coins from the early 1900s and look brand new.
