WOW!!! That is a superb question... I remember many years ago, when gold was priced at $32 per ounce, that they were saying it would be very expensive to convert another metal into gold... but with today's technology and the current price of gold, you would think that question would be re-visited... I'm sure someone is working on it right now...

Gold has one more proton in its atomic nuclei than platinum and one less than mercury, so it would make sense to use one of those metals, probably mercury, but either way, it would have to be a cheap enough metal to make the transition worth the effort... GREAT QUESTION!!!
