I specifically called them "scanners" and not "x-ray" machines...
Can they detect gold? Suppose you put a few small coins like Sovereigns or 1/4 oz pure gold coins in your wallet, mixed with other coins. Can they tell them apart?
I heard about people "getting caught" with gold coins, as few as 3-5 pieces and the "authorities" took them away ("confiscated", but it's rather theft, in my opinion).
I know there are hand-held devices that can tell from dust whether it contains gold etc.
The airport machines are very sophisticated. If they can tell the difference between organic content and metal, that's not too much, but technology is so evolved...
If there are ultrasound machines that tell us whether gold is gold or whether there is something in there...
...I suppose the airport scanners can also tell you whether your coins are nickel or gold. Gold having higher density etc. not sure...
