You can’t destroy or burn gold many many google results, the perth mint have melted the same bare 65000 times it’s all still there.

Gold Can’t Be Destroyed, only Dissolved
As it stands, it is not possible to destroy gold on a molecular level with any naturally occurring substance on earth. Pure gold is virtually indestructible. It will not corrode, rust or tarnish, and fire cannot destroy it. This is why all of the gold extracted from the earth is still melted, re-melted and used over and over again. A great example of this is the Perth Mint in Australia, which produces well-known silver and gold bullion coins. They host a public gold pour multiple times a day. Since 1993, they have melted and recast the same gold bar over 65,000 times. Throughout this time, none of the recast gold has been irrecoverably destroyed.

The only way gold could truly be destroyed is through nuclear reactions. However, there does exist a way to dissolve gold using “Aqua Regia,” which is a mix of hydrochloric and nitric acids. Even so, this does not mean the gold is destroyed after exposure. After dissolving, it exists as gold particles in a more widely dispersed form

Yeah going to believe the 1 youtube video that’s the 1000’s of sources on google and the 65000 meets of the same bar with no loss, maybe crooked jewellers are keeping the 10%. I believe it’s lost in fillings but it does not burn or evaporate.
