Historically, the practice of biting into metal seems to have its roots in money counterfeiting. Money handlers would bite down on coins to test their authenticity, said David W. Lange of Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. Gold is a relatively soft medal and would show wear when distressed.

Es samulsu par latviešu košanu bronzā. Viņi pārbaudīja, vai tas tomēr netīšām un pēkšņi nav zelts?

tas zelts īstenībā ir sudrabs

Material:

  • First place: It is composed of silver (at least .925 grade) covered with 6 grams of pure gold.

  • Second place: It has the same composition as the first place medal without the gilding.

  • Third place: It is mostly copper with some tin and zinc (worth approximately $3).

    nē, viņi pārbauda vai tas nav svins, zelts tomēr nav tik mīksts, lai varēt ar zobiem sakost

    "in med-evil times lead was often used as a mock gold replacement as it has similar weight. when you bite gold it will not leave teeth marks..when u bite led it will."
