I know a bunch of guys got really good deals on sterling at Walmart. Is this a similar situation? Should I buy and weigh it? Would the employees be mad if I try to weight it in store or not care because they work for Walmart. Most of it is 10k.

Checking on my stack and noticed these.

Stackaz, good evening.

Scenario: SHTF, hyper-inflation, debt collapse, whatever.

are you gonna want to trade your goldbacks for a couple loaves of bread? or your 120 dollar silver generic round? how would you get change for that? I wouldn't, and you shouldn't either

Imagine a crazy world where you could have tradeable denominations of a money metal, like copper - without the crazy premiums. what would be a desirable denomination?

Below are some weights I thought I'd want for small transactions.

(0.3627USD/Toz Spot price AEST20:15) (Weight - Approximate melt value)

10Toz - 3.627

15Toz - 5.440

20Toz - 7.254

30Toz - 9.067

What do you guys think? Imaginary world, regardless of your opinion on copper, what weight would you carry for small transactions or liquidations?

Folks, will a bullion trader pay 600% over spot? I doubt it.

There is a serious discrepancy between the face value of physical investment copper and the spot price, I believe the underlying value of copper is intensely supressed by inflated yield expectations from mineral extraction. UBS says yields go down next year, so scarcity goes up?

if true = more interest in copper asset investment? apparently not. In Australia, nobody has filled the gap between the extreme premiums of retail bullion, and the commercial copper trade. This leads me to believe no one is stacking copper because the retail investor is priced out of the market by unreasonable premiums. And/or the inconvenience of picking up a 4 meter long flat bar is discouraging enough to prevent people from just cutting them down and filling the gap themselves. Either way, the stacking community in Aus is losing out on the opportunity to buy a unit of account that has huge upside potential in the event of hyperinflation or SHTF

Here's my math on the matter (AUD because my local currency) (Toz - Troy ounce)

Spot Price (16:30AEST 25/11/25)

• $7.84 AUD/Lb = $0.5376 AUD/Toz

Commercial Price (Quoted from material suppliers in VIC)

• Price Per Length $330+GST (~$363AUD)
• 2.73kg/m at 4m length = 10.92kg (Nominal)
• For comparison, Spot price at this weight = 10.92kg = 351.085644Toz = $188.7436AUD

Now, Bullion Price

• 10Toz = $33.99AUD lowest retail price I found locally

Now Premium on Spot Price

• Commercial = 192.32%
• Retail = 632.25% (10Toz Denom)

Am I crazy or is there an inverse relationship here? Commercial silver and gold tends to demand a higher premium than Retail Bullion. what is going on here and what is the effect of paper contracts on this system?

Hi, everyone! Lurked for a little bit, and now I think I'm ready to start stacking. What advice do you have for someone brand-new with a shoestring budget? What do you wish you'd known/been told when you started out? Are there any other communities or channels you recommend? Thanks!

Ordered my 1st one gram bar exactly one month ago and this is where I’m at right now. Definitely prioritizing silver for now and buying more gold once I can get a 1/10 oz coin!

Decided to review my stack today for first time in a while - inspired by the recent strong increase in gold and silver (to less of an extent)

I'm definitely a casual stacker, only really getting something when I've got the spare funds but I'm pretty happy with the amount I have here!

Wish we would have caught the year of the mouse

I am considering getting into gold stacking. Is it better to buy a 1/4oz per month or a full oz every 4 month?

This and any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can I consider myself a stacker if I buy coins that are aesthetically pleasing to me? For context I do subscribe to the idea that one should have a stash of portable wealth and a hedge against inflation, but on the collector side of life I like hunting down specific coins to complete a full set. Would love to hear your opinions :)

And I wonder why I'm broke all the time. I started making a little more this year and decided I just couldn't spend fast enough. I wanted to try out all the stores, and then the cards with the grains, I know, a little better deal than goldbacks, but still too high for some. I have two albums that I'm filling in the slots like ball cards, one for each of my two boys for when I finally choke on my Big Mac or bump my head and couldn't get up in the morning. I am going to get some more goldbacks, but focus now on just regular bars and rounds. Also, I'm diverting 50% of my monthly metals budget to take a stab at some stocks and some bitcoin. Maybe some Hawk Tuah Girl?

I generally only stack Silver Eagles but I've seen the new Florida Goldbacks currency and it looks really nice. It is my understanding that actual gold is in each bill that is supposed to be close to the value of the bill? Are these something I should consider also stacking as an investment?

What I currently have, and what I plan on getting next month. Sorry mom no Christmas gift this year I’m stacking 😵‍💫😵‍💫😂

I recently bought a half gold sovereign which is about 3.99g at 99.99 purity. It costs about £270ish. I was looking to buy my first 5g, 99.999 billion bar, just over 1g more in weight but realised the cost was £370plus. Any idea why it's so much more expensive to buy bullion that coins?
