I own some GLD, so naturally this thread caught my eye. I googled around for more reputable citations and found this in my travels

So I guess you would cast the tungsten first since it has a higher melting point, then cast the gold around it.

I’m still not sure what to make of any of this, but any ETF that holds physical gold could potentially be at risk.
