HUH? You mean to put an imprint on them? I suppose if that imprint
said "Credit Suisse" or something like that, then the answer is yes.
If you just want to pour gold into a baking pan, the answer certainly
is no for the US. I don't know about other countries.

I've been doing some recycling myself, and have a whole TEN GRAMS!
(Umm, I had hoped to yield more from the process, and am still
working on it.) 10 gm makes a pitifully small ingot!

Jon

yes,

please send me $1,800,000.00 and I will send the license.

10 g is not even big enough to make a pour for an ingot. I usually just
melt that amount in an indentation on a charcoal block on the bench like
this, http://www.abrasha.com/process/wr/wr-08.htm

The result is something like this:

Don't listen to the top-posting man behind the curtain, Paul.

I supply that particular license for only $1,798.33, prepaid.
Got my address?

Yes, I've noticed, to my great dismay! I had expected to get a good
deal more recovery than that. I'm still working on the process to
be sure I'm not losing any of the gold in wash solutions, etc.

For small amounts, an oxy/acetylene (or oxy/mapp) torch and a crucible
is a lot more efficient.

Sure.
Go for your life.
They'll be "tokens" however, not "coins".

So problem so long as you don't deliberately make them similar to legal
tender - either visually or to fool a vending machine.

Hell - merchant's tokens are a whole 'nuther sphere of collecting.

Here's some that Kyle Mutcher, Canadian coin dealer, made for fun a little
while ago:

These ones are hand-struck - well, "sledge-hammer" struck actually.

Well, you can deliberately make them to be nearly exactly like the real
thing, so long as you let people know that they are your own creation when
you try and "cash" them..
