Why would you reveal this with a video? Like…this is literally free money for the taking.
If you're the gold store people are selling gold to, you make more money revealing this
If there’s only 10k of them, you would definitely make more money collecting those yourself. Putting it on the internet like that ensures that every gold store in the country starts getting those.
