Dunno about the really small ones. I only got 5g, 20g and 1oz ones, and they were about 1% over if you pay in CHF or EUR.
Bought these 1/2oz gold buttons yesterday.
Learned something interesting from another stacker at our meet.
Seems they are an ideal format for smuggling gold.
Just swallow these pill size gold buttons and let nature take it course after you arrive at your destination.

some people may be looking at the EXIT strategy :lol:
But what if you really need to go while on the plane?
Do you take plastic bags in your pocket so you can pack it in, pack it out? Or do you give it a wash and repeat the process
Hope you have short fingernails.

There's a reason they're nicknamed smugglers bars.
I will be a guinea pig if I get to keep the gold 
An Aztec word for "gold" is "teocuitlatl", which literally means "excrement of the gods"; from "teotl" meaning "god", and "cuitlatl" meaning "excrement".
Therefore... it is theoretically possible, that if you smuggled gold into Mexico, and got caught by customs (because the metal detector went off), when they make you go to the toilet, and they see what you shit, some of the customs officers might freak out because they'll think you are a god. Cool...
