A better use for gold is as a fine dust. If you have someone on the inside of an organization for a while, you can assassinate by putting gold dust in their food in small quantities for a few months, and they will die of massive organ failure induced by heavy metal poisoning. And, it's tricky to diagnose! (I saw that one on an episode of
House , but I followed up with some internet research, and it's true.)
