I looked this up online and it makes a lot of sense... Best Answer: Nothing much. Did you buy them off on ebay?
A bar described as "1oz 100 mills 24k GOLD!!!!" contains one ounce of worthless scrap metal, plated with gold to only 100 millionths of an inch deep (0.0001 inches of gold). In plating, "mill" does indeed stand for millionths of an inch of gold.
eBay seems to be full of these sorts of items. The terms "solid" (meaning full of scrap metal, not hollow) and "pure gold" (meaning the plating is pure, not the scrap metal) are often used misleadingly, while the term "plated" almost never appears. Gold plated items are generally almost worthless; for example, a 1oz 100 mill plated-gold bar might sell for $10 on a good day, while a 1oz solid gold bar currently sells for at least $1000.
