Once again...gold is gold.
The only thing that disolves it is aqua Regia (nitric+sulphuric acid...literally the 2 strongest acids in the world).

Theres a story of a guy in germany who dissolved his Nobel prize medal in aqua regia when nazis came to consfiscate gold.

When they left, he neutralized the acid and the gold paricipated out of the acid.

Platinum is also in a league of its own.

Its melting point is insane.
Only advanced civilizations with expert metallurgy can work it.

It is resistant to acids.

Tungsten coinage would interesting
