Of course, the cheapest and most plentiful source of Carus is... Well, gold itself... And there isn't a 100% efficiency...
-Scratches back of neck-
And of course, without a nearby Node, I can only make so much before my casting wand is drained...

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.-Looks at the card, tries to figure out the relative size of the coins-
As I said, not 100% efficient, using gold coins to make gold bits means you end up with less gold than you started with...
-Questioning look at Imca-
Iridium doesn't contain any Carus... Or any aspect really... Probably a side-effect of being an entirely artificial element.
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing..... We found it floating in the sky.... the platinum then?
Is that from her world I would assume?
Really iridium is just very very rare on the earths surface, it is attracted to iron, and it is dense... as such most of it sunk to the earths core during formation, it is however not too rare in meteoroids... IIRC thats where alot of the industrial stuff (it is highly useful in industry due to the extream tempetures it maintains its machine strength at, and its unreactivness with almot every thing) comes from
I'm basically going by what aspects various things have in-game. Iridium is made from processes (that involve making universal matter) that Thaumcraft can't track the crafting of and the person who made the mod that adds Platinum hasn't bothered to give it aspects. :/
Platinum's not good either, noone's figured out the transmutation ratios for platinum.
-Shrugs-
I suppose the best way to go about this is to just melt down the coins and sell the resulting metal.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.As I said, using gold to make gold doesn't really make sense. No transmutation is 100% efficient.
For example, to make a single iron bar, you need 9 nuggets, 2 Metallum gives 2 nuggets with one Metallum each, but a full bar only contains 8 Metallum. Therefore you're losing at least one Metallum.

Shouldn't be too hard. Might as well give it a try
