    Thanx for the video.
    I don't know. Seems like a lot of work to me. And I can buy 1/4 or 1/10 ounces without breaking them a part.
    Definitely not for me.

    Makes combibars look even better - just fold and break, no chisel necessary.

    I just don't get the point of it.

    If you want fractional silver just buy it that way.
    1966 50c pieces, pre-decimal silver coins etc.

    I can see why they think it is a good idea, but until people start bartering with silver there is no need to make change from a coin.

    Plus, who wants a pocket full of sharp cornered metal?

    I think this harks back to ye olde pirating days when a piece of eight was cut to make smaller denominations, I think we have moved on since then.

    I have seen them on eBay and though it wasn't a bad gimick and worth getting one for a laugh but if you need a chisel I don't think I will bother. they also have divisible bars which are a more standard rectangle shape and can get divided into 4 smaller rectangles.

    Still not interested though, I have my Valcambi on the way, that will settle my need for expensive gimicky silver, for a while at least!
