Nah literally crushing plates would feel so good. Worth the effort to melt it again every few sessions
You could encase them in plastic to prevent damage and mask them for some run off the mill equipment. Nobody would suspect anything without prior knowledge.
But they feel nice to touch.

The weights being nearly twice as heavy for their expected size would be a bit of a giveaway to anyone who has ever been in a gym.
That's easily sorted by higher plastic to gold ratio.
Having to handle the plates with care and the damage they’d take regardless would add to the charm.
