Whenever I travel internationally I carry what I call my "problem solving kit". Among the small multi-tool, first aid kit, etc., is $1,000 in hundreds and a couple 1oz Krugerands.So have Ukrainians started bartering in PM's yet or is the country still "stable" enough? What about refugees fleeing to other countries? What is the preferred currency for bribes?
- Euros
- US Dollars
- Silver/Gold
Well, I checked spot and it was like $20.97. So I too got a couple of those Turkish Delights (Nadir bars).I did order one of the Nadir 10 oz. silver bars from Monument Metals just now, for $234.00.
I'm glad to have Monumental as an additional place to look. (thanks @spencer rifle !) I hadn't heard of them and I like that they also have free shipping over $199 and no sales tax like Provident.Well, I checked spot and it was like $20.97.

More precedent of reducing formerly useful or beautiful items down to pieces used in trade or as impromptu currency. There may again come a time when these items will be valued for their PM content instead of their practical usefulness.

Except for silver tableware. That is self-sterilizing due to the oligodynamic effect, so especially useful as-is in a survival situation.
Just ordered one of these for $610.72.

I think I timed it right. Gold took a pretty good dip early this morning and then shortly after I ordered it jumped quite a bit. It's settled back lower now, but not as low as the morning dip.Nice looking bar, and at ~1833 per Troy not a bad premium either. I do like the added insurance.
Your welcome. I just bought a small stack of silver earlier this week so of course the price went down.Spot was below 20.
I bought earlier in the week too. We're both doing our part.Your welcome. I just bought a small stack of silver earlier this week so of course the price went down.
I ordered several at $235 earlier this week and don't feel too bad. With gold down as well, 1oz sovereign coins can be had close to $1,880, I am very tempted to order. Snorko wants a Krugerand.Wow, on second thought, I did time it right. Just now, Monument took the Nadir "off sale". When I ordered, it was the same price no matter the quantity, now 1-9 is 228.30.
Any indications as to whether this is a short term dip or a trend?
