CombiBar gold, like a chocolate bar

A 50gm bullion sheet divided into 50 sections that can be broken neatly into 1 gm pieces.

I like the idea, but I do wonder about the ease of fakes.

I like the idea too, but as you said, counterfeiting could pose a problem and would be tough to detect.  The easiest way to detect fake coins is by size (diameter and thickness) and weight, but I don't see a way to do that with the CombiBar. 
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
