I was pretty amazed when I first learned that tungsten and gold have essentially the same density; I was always under the impression that no other metal (except possibly radioactive ones :) ) had such a high density.
Hah me too! When I first compared a silver ounce round (non government minted coin for those who don't know) to a gold round I was like wtf?
That's what gives gold coins their out-of-this-world sounding ping when you balance and flick them and it resonates for an eternity.
I've never held a gold coin, but I thought that because of its high density, it would not ping, but make more of a "thud" noise. Lead objects don't ping, so why does gold ping?
Gold ping sounds otherworldly, it's mystical!
And I always thought the giveaway that they were using fake golf bricks in all the movies was because of the ping sound :) Pretty wild that you could have a highly malleable, very dense, metal make a ping.
