Who would buy Billy Meier coins and why?

The only monster box I can afford is an empty one

That's a good start...

Takes the fun out cos you reach 500oz just like that (and spot dives after you buy). More fun to collect bars and coins some at a time to average out your price per oz.

And I don't subscribe to the SHTF scenario. You won't be using silver to barter trade you would probably be using utility items to trade (like clothes, blankets, food).

The fun isn't buying just 1 monster box though and stopping.
For some stackers 500oz is considered loose change.

Don't know but buying monster boxes just takes the fun out of stacking somehow.

How does that take the fun out of stacking ?
Have you never seen a tall tower of tubes "stacked" one on top of the other ?
That's what a real stack is all about; even though the coins are identical they are still Ag !
Much more attractive than a poured brick.

It's hard to create a really tall tower of 1oz coins though, especially if you have a cat. A tower of kilo coins, however, would be spectacular. Is there a monster box of 1kg koalas or kooks?

if you buy 5kg coins they come like this

I had never seen that! I have seen the mini monster box of 5 rolls of 1oz kooks. But a box of kg coins... wow.

...and to others, 500 oz is considered a long term goal. :|
