Tungsten-Filled 1 Kilo Gold Bar Found In The UK

Tungsten-Filled 1 Kilo Gold Bar Found In The UK | ZeroHedge
The reason the bar attracted attention is that it was 2 grams underweight.
Upon cropping it was uncovered that about 30-40% of the bar weight was tungsten.
So two documented incidents in two years: isolated?
Or indication of the same phenomonenon of precious metal debasement that marked the declining phase of the Roman empire.
Only then it was relatively public for anyone who cared to find out on their own.
Now, with the bulk of popular physical gold held in top secret, private warehouses around the world, where it allegedly backs the balance sheets of the world's central banks, yet nobody can confirm its existence, nor audit the actual gold content, it is understandable why increasingly more are wondering: just how much gold is there?
