Use of serial number on gold & silver bars

Is the serial number on gold and silver bars useful for anything more than differentiating one otherwise identical bar from another? For example, is there any way to use the serial number to determine the date of the bar's manufacture or perhaps any other information? If so, where would that information be?

    primarily for identifying specific bars being held in an allocated or storage account. Most likely there are records with the manufacturer indicating when produced.

    When gold and silver move together, it signals the coming end of fiat money.
