That's the fun part. If you take just one proton off, you'll often end up with some gold that just decays back into mercury in a few days. Sell it for a quick prank.

I’m a third generation proton plucker myself. Some day, my children’s children’s children may have a good laugh when they finish this bar.

you can find Hg 198 for sale actually. So if you’re a morally pure alchemist you can make the stable isotope of gold

  How much does isotopically pure ^198\Hg cost though? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was more expensive than gold…
