    Where does all the e-waste go after the gold is extracted?

    …but not any other materials? Sounds wasteful.

    So they don’t just make mints for the royal family?

      Of course not that’s ridiculous, they make Royal® Brand Mints! They need gold for the wrapper foil. After all choosy Royals Choose Royal®’s!
