Harvey,
I must be leading a charmed life. In decades of foil stamping, I haven't seen the green gold. Or, I guess I should say, haven't produced any.
I originally used Kingsley 24K, then what they called their "crossover" foil.
Kingsley went out of business quite a while ago, but www.aamstamp.com seemed to take over where Kingsley left off, in the Los Angeles area..
I've since been using a satin Bronze (B21002) foil from M. Swift & Sons, (Hartford, CT) which does a good job on paper products and leather.
Their satin foil has more of a powdery consistency, as compared to a glossy foil.

If I remember correctly, the reason it was called 'crossover' was because it was not 24K foil, which works great on leather, but would not tarnish either.
I would not do leather because my hot stamping mentor said that the normal gold brass foils that I had would turn green within three weeks.

I've tried the gold laser foil on leather, and in my opinion NO it does not work, it does not stick well enough.
