My first thought would be to just limit the quality of the resulting metal with the "metal smelting patent", but there is no such patent. But could just be a patent specifically for this process.
Either way, I do find it interesting how this actually adds at least a little value to Cronodollars, and now your capitals' tribute chain allows for metal production hubs.
But we could always use some more money sinks. For example a recovery fee when respawning your spacecraft from stasis.
