But Jim, there are about 4000 tonnes of gold produced and consumed every year, barely 15% of that goes into various (collectors) coinage, it is a very useful metal and if its price was lower its utility would increase drastically, hey, at the right price, I am sure that Au is better than Ag for those HTS wires cladding tubes, during sintering, you have even less reaction that with Ag.
