How pure is the purest gold you can purchase from the US mint (in %)? Bonus: The impurities are mostly composed of what?
By the way, my vote for the most effective tank in WWII goes to the T-34 (Tiger was just too heavy on the maintenance) Though their is some ambiguity about how "successful" it was, as Russian commanders would often pad their kills with abandoned derilict tanks or just make them up as they went.
24 karat gold is the purest form of gold (99.9% or more), but it is not necessarily the 'best.' Gold coinage has traditionally been 22 karat or so, because the addition of a small percentage of alloy metal, usually copper, strengthens the coin tremendously and makes it less susceptible to wear and damage.
Gold can also be found mixed with silver, copper, or other metals in varying percentages.

Wrong on the bonus, at 99.9% (the ABSOLUTE purest gold you can obtain at the moment is 99.9985% pure, I have some in my lab,) most of the impurities can be found in the form of platinum.
