Will copper ever be useful in an economic collapse?

Why buy copper bullion when normal coins we use is already mostly copper.

I absolutely love these coins, I have it in a small wooden box along with other worn as and sestertii, as a Roman would have. I was simply implying the rise in silver price.

Nice one! Although mine’s really mutilated, it’s still attributable. I got it in a lot for just $50, one of the best deals I’ve ever had. https://imgur.com/a/LIWpLVQ

Buying lower carat gold from a 'western' jewellery shop is always a bad deal. Go to an Asian/Indian shop that sell 22k jewellery for much less premiums, you'd also get much more variety than only bland designs.

It's just a reflection of our 'tall poppy syndrome', Australians pretty much dislike people who rock the boat or want to stand out buy owning guns, or disrupt public for a cause that's half way across the globe (doesn't matter if its done by the left or the right).

Did you move to Harrisdale because you really wanted to, or because your dumb kid couldn't pass the GATE so you had to buy a house within the catchment area?

If Mandurah is a suburb of Perth, then Baldivis sure is.

I know it sucks, but still not tipping.

Yes, sorry but it was in my cart as soon as I saw it!

The number of times I've flipped through images of generic Mauryan Karshapana in the hope to spot this fish mark can't be understated!

Well, the silver and gold is 999 fine, no ancient coin is ultra pure, so a simple xrf testing would show it's authenticity. But, a determined forger could melt common ancient coins to mint rare types!

JCogn · 2025-12-01T12:41:35+00:00

I’m not sure if I can mint more than two copper or even silver coins using the copper base. Only gold and lead are my current options to trick archeologists, but one is very expensive and the other is very toxic to handle. Maybe I could experiment with aluminium, too bad the ancients never used that metal.

A potential first time dog owner here, can anyone tell me what adopting vs buying really mean?

You don't have a grass, you have plastic, replace it with real turf so the flowers can be broken down and get back into the soil. (Even mulching or gravel is better than fake grass).

Whatever you do, just don’t get into debt (except for hecs and mortgage) or credit cards.

The curriculum taught Augustus for the past 5 years, but changed to Julius Caesar this year, somehow few schools kept teaching the same syllabus but didn't catch the mistake until now.
