I think it's the boobs ... RM take notice for the next Britannia design 😂

Fair point, but I was trying to get at the fact there isn't that much wildlife in the UK and if it became a major food source for even a minority of the population it might soon go into rapid decline. For those suggesting pigeons for city dwellers ... I remember when Trafalgar Square was rammed with them and people selling bird seed. More recently I believe byelaws were passed to make it illegal to feed them, birds of prey were introduced to cut their numbers and perches were restricted by those spiky things on every horizontal surface. You'd be lucky to see even 1 pigeon in Trafalgar Square these days.

If everyone started hunting like that how long would it be before there was nothing left?

Sounds like a return to the feudal system created by William I in England after he became king.

This is not quite true as there are peer to peer ways to buy crypto. e.g. https://bisq.network/ or simply a bloke in the pub. Come to think of it ... perhaps such peer to peer crypto deals could happen on here if the forum owner wished to allow them. There used to be bitcoin ATMs but they got banned by the FCA ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-60709209

No because the middle man changes from the banks to the government. Decentralised cryptos are the answer.

A comedy movie in the same vein (pun intended) starring Eric Bana ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nugget

Happening in other cities too.

For the record ... I didn't "shoot them down". Why have a wife? Live life as a free man.

My point was that they clearly didn't and neither have the people of ANY other country. This is being imposed top down regardless.

I wonder if their citizens voted for this?

My opinion FWIW ... fancy branded packaging is nice but it's also annoying because it needs to be disposed of secretively to avoid drawing attention. Perhaps dealers could offer an optional plain packaging option.

Haha, tempted to get one of these just to own a doubloon!!! Arrrrr, Jim lad!

3.1 You may be required to tell us what you have stored in your safe deposit box. You must ensure that your safe deposit box only contains items that belong to you, and never contains any of the following items: • anything that is illegal or constitutes the proceeds of crime; • cash, of any currency, amount or denomination; • chemicals or drugs, or items which are noxious, ... ... I guess it comes down to whether a bullion coin with a face value in GBP is classed as "cash, of any currency, amount or denomination". Perhaps Metrobank need to clarify their T&Cs in this regard as it seems to be open to interpretation.

Maybe this contributed to it being a flop? https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/may/08/arts.ukcrime

I thought it was Lot's wife? 🤪

The obvious solution is to sell what you have and buy a 1oz coin.

Seems sensible to assume any incoming communication from your bank is fraudulent until proven otherwise. Ignoring it is not sensible though, you should contact the bank using an existing trusted channel rather than replying to some random looking txt message or dealing with some automated telephone system.

Not sure what "slivers" are but Sharon Stone fans would be well advised to watch the 1993 movie "Sliver" 🤩 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliver_(film)

If you haven't seen this story from 2009 it is very eye-opening. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1222777/The-raid-rocked-Met-Why-gun-drugs-op-6-717-safety-deposit-boxes-cost-taxpayer-fortune.html

Looks great! How good would these be for domino toppling? Are they stable enough when stood on their ends? Imagine the sound they would make when toppling loads of them!

A 1kg version would be amazing 🤩

Did anyone else think this was going to be a silver M16 a la Scarface? 😂 Probably just me. But this is very cute and would make a great xmas pressie! Will you be rolling these into mass production in time for xmas?

Got what I wanted, shipping within 2 weeks according to the order details 🙂
