I think you'll lose like 5 grams from the protons, more cause you might have to remove a couple of neutrons?
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...
More like put em all together and get even more gold
Anybody have advice for shoving a bunch of protons together? I keep trying but they always fly away from each other.
Put some sugar on a magnet, that always works
Just a spoon full of strong force helps the proton stay down
Yeah just turn up the close nuclear forces a bit and they'll zoom right together
You have to hold them close for a little bit, and let those positrons vent away.
