Also known as beat gold and tinsel (tinsel, gold foil, Dutch metal)

Very thin brass foil (brass: any of various metal alloys consisting mainly of copper and zinc), which looks deceptively similar to gold leaf (beatgold, gold foil) due to appropriate processing and was used in the past – also with fraudulent intent – not infrequently as a substitute for gold plating. – See precious copper, precious metals, coin gold, intermediate gold.
