Hypothetically, finding the gold bars is a massive pain in the ass.
Without identification, the value of the bars drops off a shitload.
You can’t just shave off the serial numbers and then sell them.
You can’t just resmelt them either, the bars are cast at over 1000°C, and even then, the bars have unique imperfections (deliberate) which make them easily identifiable.

I tried to find how much of a premium traceable gold carries but wasn’t able to. Got a good surface for how much?
