I have been in electrochemistry labs where beakers of precious metals would be just sitting out on the bench. We work in a system that for the most part assumes that faculty are honorable.Liberal Arts Chemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15596792160119000781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437148317327768610.post-88223691103487316242012-07-04T13:47:28.185-07:002012-07-04T13:47:28.185-07:00* gold coins from a bank* gold coins from a bankandreewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618261795512988288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437148317327768610.post-30128826317160013602012-07-04T13:46:57.035-07:002012-07-04T13:46:57.035-07:00I've purchased gold coins to dissolve in aqua ...I've purchased gold coins to dissolve in aqua regia before. Much cheaper. Unfortunately, they don't accept purchase orders, nor do they guarantee prices for 30 days as is customary otherwise. Getting a cash advance from the department was troublesome to say the least.andreewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618261795512988288noreply@blogger.com
