    Do you like big bars? I was trawling through an old silver shortage thread and found this behemoth:posted by alore.

    You know you are a hardcore stacker when you need an industrial hoist and a buddy to help you arrange your stack.

    But I guess back in those days you could get maybe a stone of silver for two shillings and a couple of pence from a fellow stacker down at the local tavern while sharing a firkin of ale.

    I think their usage is well south of that now.

    The digital age is here!
