Umm this is a solved problem. Believe it or not gold has been used as currency for thousands of years.

It's not a solved problem. Notice how you didn't actually answer the question of how a random store will authenticate your gold shavings.

Even banks and large jewelers fail to authenticate gold.

Simply incredible. Used for millennia as currency but not a solved problem to determine what is gold…
