Convert coins to gold ingots in smelter

[Pen N Popper]

Perhaps melt coins into gold ingots?  Could make it high amount per ingot, 1000, 5000, or even 10000?

That would be considered counterfeiting.
 
The True we use is standardized version of the King's coin. All you would get out of this would be jail time.
 
I presume that all coins have a seal, and some kind of imprint on them to make them Trues.

We considered doing this about two years ago and decided against it for various reasons. Sorry.

Blackguy, I think you have misread. He is not making coins, but melting them down back into gold. Which I am sure would take a lot of coins due to the fact that there is probably not a lot of gold in the alloy, anyway.  
 
However, the abiilty to do this was used in the older days when people would melt coins, urns, or what not just for the metal (not necessarily gold from gold coins). Then the metal was used for making other things. It was like old world recycling. Some metals were rare or hard to get. So they took something they did't need and made it into something they did.

If I recall, each True is supposedly a "true" tenth of an ounce. Sixteen ounces to the pound makes it an hundred sixty True to the pound, and with 5.5 pound ingots, that comes out to be 880 True to an ingot.
