Thiosulfates are reduced to corrosive metal sulfides and sulfites by metallic copper (Bean, S. L. 2000. Thiosulfates. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).
Gold is attacked by sodium thiosulfate solutions in the presence of oxygen (Renner, H., et al. 2000. Gold, Gold Alloys, and Gold Compounds. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
