Since you and Washington are into burning money, have you considered switching over to hawking the "'new" silver dollars?
Normally you burn pennies, but if your bank won't take gold dollars, don't get heated up - just heat up the dollars!

Not to worry, you can always turn the silver dollars back to gold dollars with that blowtorch you always wanted to buy.
