How many coins can be made out of this I guess its according to what denomination you are minting. If you are minting one ounce coins then allot, if you are minting half ounce coins then twice as much as the one ounce coins, if you are minting quarter ounce coins the 4 times as many as you could if they were one ounce |

I too think it's a fake. Nice advertising gimmick though. Probably a hunk of Lead sprayed with a spray can from Walmart. |

I think I'd conceal a pick up my sleeve and just take a little piece with me when I leave.  |

I think it's a fake for several reasons. One is what is the purpose of having a block of something that is needed for so much stuff?
Why bother placing it on display in the first place? Is there a block similar in Platinum? Silver?
Does make for a nice photo though.

Can you trim a gold brick with a pocket knife? How about a disposable razor?
