Paying for purchases with gold flakes....

Funny, I thought of that as a business venture maybe 10-15 years ago. Then I thought “who would accept a non-stamped/ non-pedigreed bar even if it had the profile (as the URL shows) of being sliced out of a 1000 oz Comex-acceptable bar? (I wouldn’t. You want to sell me a 10 or 100 oz bar, it’s stamped Sunshine or RCM or Englehard or J-M or Silvertowne or even APMEX) And the aspect of being fake has only gotten worse, astronomically, over time)

There is NOTHING you can do with PMs that does not have significant friction associated with it. Any time you TOUCH these metals, there is a 3%-5%-10% or more hit you take.
