And here's another problem with the "Audit process..." Perhaps the US Mint needs a new spokesperson!

A Mint spokesman said about 1 to 1.5 grams of each sample is destroyed in the assaying process, with the remaining granules returned to the government. Surely they meant, "returned to the FEDERAL RESERVE" right?

When gold is FIRE assayed, the gold is not destroyed, unless the metal being assayed is NOT gold in the first place! Even then, it is not destroyed! The resulting assayed gold simply changes shape: the gold is still there AFTER the assay is completed as a simply tiny, round, brilliantly pure, gleaming sphere, visible, and weighable.

No one goes around "destroying gold." At all times, gold is in either solid, liquid or gaseous form, remember? Assaying does not render gold into a vapor. Even in AAS assay's gold is in a dissolved form and aspirated through a flame. It doesn't get "destroyed" let alone vaporized.
