My idea was to gift my fiance and her family one bar of silver each, and have the parents get a gold bar each. Symbolic in a way, but of all the gift ideas, i like it.

Yup Yup! I get my grand kids a gift and they get 2oz silver and some junk silver for their banks. Adult kids get silver plus some fiat and a gift this year I've collected a pile of $2 bills so they getting those. Last year I had silver certificates

Gold/silver certificates are most likely Jew bullshit. They're probably okay for now, but if SHTF, then you'll find they don't have enough gold/silver to pay out all their customers. It's the same fractional reserve shit banks do with money (make more loans than they have money).

Yep. Physical silver is okay, even though the price is heavily manipulated. Paper silver is only going to be worth anything if you're one of the first to sell. Once everyone realizes it's a sham, the paper it's printed on will be worth more.

I bought some silver and gold. Now I'm seeing that there are transaction fees, and you will never sell it for as much as a retailer will. I think people will be paranoid about buying something so expensive from a random person. The price will tend to go up with inflation, but you will probably end up with less purchasing power due to transaction costs. I suppose the longer you wait, the better it gets. Of course if a hyperinflation event were to happen, then you will certainly come out on top. I guess you can compare this to just leaving your money in a bank account to rot at 2% interest or whatever. I guess there's also the manipulation of the silver market failing, and the price ending up becoming realistic again. That would end up being very profitable.

Uhhh yeah those silver certificates lost validity 50+ years ago.

Absolutely! I did the same a few years ago with my cousins kids, a silver proof dollar in a case for each of them with the hope that it would get them into coin collecting. A coin they would be proud of for years to come.

I'm not sure about giving scrap silver coins, too much chance that they might get spent by accident or on purpose in a childhood moment of foolishness.

My aunt did that with her kids. Gave them her fathers collection of silver coins and the kids spent them like cash.

That's too bad. I hope they at least got fair value at the time.

I don't mess with bars, only coinage from a national mint. That way you can legally carry up to $10k face value out of the USA while weight value is much greater. Also, I saw last week where some EU anon got gold plated lead bars when buying from a known EU web exchange.

I can't imagine that would work. .

I'm just trying to imagine my disappointment getting a metal bar for Christmas, almost as bad as getting underpants.

How about some nice Swiss Colony snacks?

Uhhh. I mean silvers pretty sweet. Golds pretty sweet too. Copper is also pretty sweet. Brass is nice. Aluminum is cool. Tin is ok. But if you’re a plastic lover fuck you. I’ll bury you in a pile of empty water bottles and suffocated sea turtles you worthless piece of shit

Only if they would want that, which I kinda doubt...just because it's something you would want doesn't mean it's something that someone else would want. It's not terribly personal. You could just give them giftcards and they'd probably appreciate that more.

Honestly, I would just try to think of what that person is into and get them something related, or get them tickets to some concert or other event or attraction that they might like.

Only if they're unvaxxed, otherwise they won't appreciate the value of real money.
