Gold, platinum, lead, and tungsten have approximately the same specific gravity. The last two metals are not precious and can be used to create fake or counterfeit gold in the form of bars or coins.

Technical Characteristics

Tungsten is most commonly used to create counterfeit gold products. Unlike lead, tungsten is denser, Replacing gold with tungsten is extremely realistic and very difficult to detect. The cost of tungsten is much lower than gold alloys, and the density is almost identical, making it satisfactory to make counterfeit bars of the same size and weight as the real ones. At various times there have been reports of counterfeit gold coins that have been drilled to replace some of the precious metal with tungsten. Nevertheless, it is much more profitable to make ingots out of tungsten and then gild them.

Other Metals

In the early Middle Ages, lead was often used in the making of counterfeit gold coins, The disadvantage of lead is that it is too soft, and a lead coin does not jingle like a gold coin. Since the discovery of platinum, it has been considered a harmful impurity to silver and was not valued. Today, platinum is not used, to create counterfeit gold, as its price has risen considerably and become higher than that of gold.
