Talk:Nordic Gold

All that glisters is not gold
and Nordic Gold doesn't even glister or glisten. I see that a few editors are much concerned that consumers might be misled by the euro coins 10c, 20c, 50c. Clearly, these editors have never held one of these coins. It doesn't look like gold, it doesn't feel like gold, it doesn't have the density of gold. It is more different from gold than nickel is from silver, and nobody is misled by nickel. --Red King 20:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

As used in the euro coins sure, but, for example, the swiss mint sells commemorative coins of "nordic gold" as well as ones of real gold. The potential for confusion is real especiallyfor those ordering by post. I'm editing to remove the stupid qualifier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.208.219.169 (talk) 07:56, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:50eurocent(neu).jpg
Image:50eurocent(neu).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Year of invention?
The article doesn't shows the year of invention of this alloy.Agre22 (talk) 01:34, 3 September 2008 (UTC)agre22
 * This Swedish site informs us that the alloy was developed during the 80's for the Swedish 10-krona. That coin was introduced in 1991. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.236.174.122 (talk) 21:48, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Antimicrobial properties
Can only find a journal to say that Nordic Gold is weekly antibacterial. Most say copper is, so the link is drawn to Nordic Gold also being antimicrobial. Anyone please find more and update the article... Oaktree b (talk) 03:11, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

"Intellectual property"
I removed the mention of "intellectual property". The statement was unsourced and very vague and I was unable to find any reliable sources to substantiate it. Presumably it meant that there were a trade mark on the phrase "Nordic gold" and a patent on the process to create it, but it didn't actually say either of these things. I searched the EU and (since Lutava is apparently Finnish) Finnish trademark databases and neither came up with "Nordic gold", except for an EU trademark relating to slot machines, not alloys. "Intellectual property" conflates many different monopoly rights that apply to different things and behave very differently in economics and law. It is IMO unacceptably vague for an encyclopedia article. Hairy Dude (talk) 02:47, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

"A rather complete description of its electrochemical properties"
Under the "Properties" subtitle we have a description that states "A rather complete description of its electrochemical properties was one result." I suppose it's good to know that someone might be able to find information about Nordic Gold's properties somewhere. I think this requires a citation. 108.79.54.29 (talk) 05:41, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
