It is more apropos to use chemistry to hide Nobel medals than say hide them in the walls.

Any mention as to how the lanyards were disposed (acid)?

The gold medals themselves were the problem, not their lanyards.

But a sensible point - you don't want to go to all that trouble and then have a Nazi Officer holding up a lanyard saying "Nobel Institue" that he found in the bin at the back of the lab.

But I think a regular fire would do.

Easy to debate unknown, but they already went to the trouble of dissolving gold in acid instead of mercury. If it were me, I would place the the ribbon and all in the solution.
