Seeing that photo make me wonder if having smaller amounts of gold might come in handy. Maby having smaller gold coins would make it easier to transact business on some levels. Could be as expensive as gold is the fractional gold coins such as the 1/10s 1/2s etc. would work better.

I've bought a lot of jewelers' scrap over the years, including remnants of bars cut to make up a melt for a casting, but no jeweler would use a kilo bar for that purpose. Why tie up that much money, since you can't sell the cuttings but only melt them?
Looks like somebody was checking out an incoming bar. Why they then used it in a picture I have no idea.
