Gold is a truly remarkable and valuable metal that has captured the human imagination for thousands of years. It’s unique combination of lustre, malleability, and rarity makes it highly desirable for a wide range of applications, from jewellery and art to currency and investments.

[@robertlucas8288]

I completely agree! Humans have treasured and valued gold for millennia, and its unique properties make it a fascinating and versatile metal. From its lustrous shine to its ability to be moulded into intricate shapes, gold has inspired countless works of art and design. And of course, its reliability as a currency and investment has helped to stabilise economies and provide a hedge against inflation. Thanks for sharing your appreciation for this remarkable metal!"

*add three silver tablespoons

[@JennsCorner777]

Bwahahaha

[@buggsy5]

There are a number of reasons for that. 1) Extra silver does not hurt the inquart - a shortage will. It risks the gold passivating some of the silver so that it is trapped in the gold during the nitric acid digestion. 2) If the silver is obtained from jewelry, much of it contains solders, which reduces the calculated silver content. 3) The manufacturer is allowed some tolerance on the silver fineness. The manufacturer will use the least amount of silver necessary to meet the minimum fineness requirement - thus minimizing the cost. 4) The excess silver is recovered later and requires no additional chemicals when using the electrolytic silver recovery method.
