    I thought you meant
    red container for 1oz kookaburras,
    blue for silver pandas,
    white for gold pandas,
    orange for bars...

    Actually....... I used to use green containers for Ag, red containers for Au, blue containers for Pt and yellow containers for Pd. I just left Cu out in the open in the yard---after all, who cares about Cu anyhow? In recent years, it's just become too laborious and tiresome. Now I just stack different piles of containers in different quadrants of the yard and I have the staff paint them accordingly every couple years........ I just wish I could find a way to cut down on my annual crane equipment and operator expenses. I hate those overpaid pikers and their stupid union too....

    I limited the number of kinds of weights of coins / rounds.
    With a handful exceptions, only kilo and 1 ounce.
    With junk, again a handful exceptions, only 25+ gr and only 90%.
    It's a stack monsterboxes, kilocoins, the rest in tight-closing icecream boxes, the junk just lose in them, but a full box doesn't rattle eh.
    To manage, I made an ordinary .txt file.
    With a table like structure of token strings using an asterisk as separator:
    Ex
    40 * Austria * Wiener Philharmoniker 2012 * 1 ounce 0.999
    2 * France * 50 Franc Hercule 1975 * 30 gram 0.900
    3 * M2 The Mulligan Mint,Inc - Dallas Texas USA * Free State Project 2009 Proof * 1 ounce 0.999
    Then I wrote a script, that calculates grammes, coins and ounces totals, and adds it as last line to the .txt file.
    When big updates, I reprint the .txt and store it with the silver.
