Sorry, what? I don't shop at Costco because I don't really need anything in the volume they sell it at... but is this a real thing?
- ahmeneeroe-v2 1y ago1oz bars IIRC, not like the bars you see in movies
- 0xffff2 1y agoOh, yeah... that's definitely not what I had in mind lol. I don't own any gold, but I do have a single silver 1oz coin and imagining that in bar form only brings to mind Zoolander jokes.

But very very very very ignorant people still insist gold is some sort of useful store of value for the apocalypse or something. People with large gold reserves in 1930s Germany did no better than any other Germans in an environment with failing fiat currency. Primarily because they were being put into camps and their gold was confiscated by a criminal regime.
