    It’s some weird tradition they’ve started doing that I either never noticed before or it’s new. People used to bite gold coins to prove they were real gold since gold is soft enough to leave a tooth mark, but I don’t know if that’s related to this or what. You couldn’t do that with silver or bronze.
