Thanks to @Gordy for this bundle 😁 dinky little things, that are for a gift.

Wonder Woman arrived today to join the boys! 
Nice to fill the gaps in the series. 
Reminds me of collecting comic books when I was younger. 
Might get on the Marvel series 😁

From my reading it seems banks only have to have a maximum of 10% of all deposits on account covered. The joys of fractional reserve banking.
It was mentioned on one of Maloney's History of Money videos iirc.
Whether they even have that would be interesting.

True story - I walked in to my bank to withdraw  £5k in cash (Lloyds) and they refused. Told me i had to pre-arrange the withdrawal online. This was around 5 years ago. I was astounded at the hoops i had to jump to withdraw my own money.
Similarly - trying to withdraw cash in the form of half a dozen £50 notes maybe 12 months ago caused no end of moaning by the cashiers. They ended up raiding multiple draws to try and find enough notes.
Makes me suspect that most banks have very little inventory.

I'm not a billionaire unfortunately but definitely had similar experiences from the bank.   
3 years go Halifax bank,  blocked my account every time I bought anything from the Royal Mint, not stopped the transaction froze the account every time and I had to go into the account with a pile of ID to keep getting the account un locked.  They would not give an explanation.   I closed the account and moved to Natwest crossing my fingers they have not been a problem.........
Expect I use to be able to pay/transfer 30k a time  (I bought a brand new car with cash without issue on my phone app in the dealership) now it's been reduced to 5k maximum per day this is an utter ball ache as I have an account with plenty in there yet they make it hard work to move. Now have to spread the money around multiple accounts and pay from different accounts for anything over 5k.  
Banks used to automatically send you a new bank account card a few weeks before the old one ran out.......they don't do this or at lest Santander don't  and not only they do not send you a new card they will cancel active current account cards if you don't us it.....I've gone nuts about this I have a main joint account where there is a sizeable balance that I use for the household bills and outgoings I never withdraw form this account unless its for a household bill/repair and they have canceled access by card to my own money and this is seemingly common practice and  justification for canceling an active account card because I don't physically use it enough times?  I've had to go bank into the bank with ID to order another new card to access my own money.  
If you try and withdraw cash anything more than the machine will let you you get the 3rd degree from the counter staff,  lets be honest a few grand in cash is not a load of money any more yet they make it difficult and use that phrase "anti theft, or money laundering "   and we all know they are very emotive phrases to make you feel like a criminal for taking your own money out of your own account.  The bank hate cash transactions because they can't track it nothing wrong with taking a lump of your own cash out to go to the coin fair. 
Many people now can feel the walls closing in with banks and the total digital system is being imposed on us all if we like it or not.   It won't be long before we see more restrictions for anything the government deems as an unnecessary or contraband a purchase.
I can see things like PP FF becoming more difficult even making a direct bank transfer to another person will restricted unless you can justify what it's for, and once cash has gone we are all fish in a barrel there is nothing you can do.

My bullshit detector tells me I would it would be wasting my time!
If you had taken to time to give a brief summary, it might have had some effect, but you simply posted a link, in an unimpressive hit-and-run!
😎

I'm in  we've got something in common 

Daterun of:
20 Francs / 8 Florin Hungary / Austria
Minted every year from 1870-1891
Most mintages are about 300.000 per year.
Most of them were minted in Kremnitz, Skovakia (KB mintmark), and a few in Romania (GYF).
I am missing: 1873, 1879, 1886 and some variations. If anyone has one of them for sale or trade, please let me know.

Abit of hammered.

Had this delivered today.... Rare as rocking horse dung with mintage of 850!

My Gold stack 🤠

Some constitutional silver 🤠🤠

Just had this belter come in the post. Thanks @Auronum!

A set of 1921/22/23 peace dollars. I will probably take them out of the cases tbh, not a fan. 

And a grubby 1927 with a die crack (?) on the back in front of the beak. 

I already gave a it an acetone bath, but I can see after taking a photo it still has some greenish crud that needs to come off! 
Only need 3 more for the simple date run, if anyone has a 1928 going I might be interested, not many seem come up on ebay UK. 

Bought me some Red Dragons from the Chinese Myths & Legends Series. They look gorgeous!
