    There's a reason 2.5oz bars are popular.

    Round edges.

    You can just imagine security watching them as they slowly and awkwardly shuffled their way up to the X ray machine grimacing like a prisoner in shackles. But hey even if they miserably failed, at least the black market is saying a big f*ck you to the Indian government.

    he didn't declare it and I think there are limits to how much you can take without a fee.

    I guess the take-home message is if you buy any low premium bullion, soak it in bleach because who knows where it's been.
