Notes to answerer

Asker: Çok teşekkürler. Malesef altınla ilgili bir web sitesinde kullanılacağı için içinde kesinlikle altın olması gerekiyor (kelime oyunu yapmak istemişler). Ancak yanıtınız kesinlikle çok doğru ve yerinde. Altın sözcüğünü kullanmamı gerektirmeyen başka bir çeviride kesinlikle önerinizi kullanacağım. Teşekkürler.
