No, gold is around twice more expensive than iridium.
Uranium is very common compared to silver (22-40 times more plentiful depending on source) and much more common than gold. Australia & Canada have the largest reserves of the element as well. Iridium in contrast is the rarest solid non-radioactive element in the Earth's crust. Now when comparing the abundance of elements in the universe, uranium is actually much rarer than iridium (which is more common than silver or gold).
no,just harder
Bauxite ore is the base for aluminium and is more plentiful than gold ore. It is also cheaper to polish to the finished product. Aluminium has many more uses than gold so is readily adaptable to the consumer market. by Ruwayda :)
Too expensive, it would be stolen (as it is there are people stealing copper electrical wiring, and copper is much cheaper than gold).
Grey polarized lenses typically allow more light through than black iridium polarized lenses. Black iridium lenses are designed to reduce glare and provide better clarity in bright light conditions. Overall, black iridium lenses may appear darker than grey polarized lenses due to their specific tint and light-blocking properties.
Should be harder to scratch than gold
iridium osmium platinum plutonium
Osmium and iridium are both heavier than gold.
Iridium is a valuable metal and is rarer than gold or platinum. A search of the internet using "iridium coins" should reveal dozens of sites claiming to have the genuine article.
Because gold is found naturally
Iridium mingles with gold, but for what reason, hardening?

It's Cheaper
Lead has a higher atomic number than iridium, which means a lead atom is heavier than an iridium atom. however iridium is denser, therefore if you had a block of iridium and a block of lead,the iridium block would be heavier
Platinum, iridium, osmium, rhenium, Neptunium,Uranium, and possibly things above Neptunium
Iridium and gold can be mixed by melting them together at high temperatures using specialized equipment. This can create an alloy of iridium and gold with properties that depend on the ratio of the two metals in the mixture.
White gold is not cheaper than yellow gold. They are both made from real gold, with white gold typically being a mix of pure gold and other metals such as nickel or palladium to achieve its color. The price of white gold and yellow gold can vary based on factors like purity, design, and craftsmanship.
