Collecting 1888?
Why 1887 though?

Had a sniffle recently, realised i'd caught the gold bug... 

Thank you so much.  I knew i'd seen this, but couldnt find again and thought i'd imagined it.

Yes, i really like except the lack of thought.  Too late now ofcourse, but you'd have thought they could put "1 oz 999 fine gold" or silver round the edge, and i dont need to be told its a Britannia.

Thats what im after, silvergoldbull didnt have this last time I looked.  How did the LTC tx go?

Excellent, i've been looking for something like that. 

What series is that?  

On the other hand, gold has been rising about 12% pa average the past 5 years. That would lose you 7% if the trend continued.  So much for "guaranteed" return. 
Paying off debt is popular idea, it overlooks time value of cash.  If money is worth less in the future, its easier to obtain, it may be beneficial to pay then rather than now.  Depends on what you do with cash in between.  It is, as you say, complicated.  

Central Bank Digital Currency. 
In the fevered mind of some they will replace currency and the government will control what you can spend on.  In practice they'll only appeal to statist nations, like China, because with control over spending comes responsbility to provide for the population.  China is culurally fine with that, Western liberal democracies would rather tell you what to do from arms length, let you get on with the day to day.  The real advantage of them, and crypto generally in future, will be in the finance industries, where they tracking of ownership of assets reduces risks.

I can think of other sets of risk.  If a company that holds your gold under full allocation goes bust and the asset cannot be accessed, or ownership not proven. Or if the government seize the assets allocated to you, or simply seize all of that asset type in secure vaults.

Don't worry about it.
The Russians are petrified everytime they hear a farmer in a tractor 😉

Sorry for going off topic 😅 but we are currently at £1467, not that anyone asked. 

Awkward view when earlier in thread we have a poster who seems to think it can be cut out for little impact.  People really do get taken in by "free" p&p, and often pay more when you look at >1 item because of it.

I dont think they have an actual pipeline though.  So all by ship, if they have them. 

Cheapest will be Chards probably.
CGT answered above. 
You shouldnt pay import on gold to UK but seems customs and delivery companies often get this wrong and even corrected fees may have to be paid. After shipping unlikly to be cheaper. 
No such power exists today. 
You dont, cant send physical over the ether. But online sellers will always accept fiat (albeit poor exchange) and this is where crypto comes in. 
All coins and notes will be changed over through banks, as happend many times before. 
 

In the modern world people tend to buy things, spend everything earnt rather than save.  Product of decades of good times and state welfare.

I once faced a similar dilema, finding a mis-pricing and wondering if i should take advantage or inform the business.  When I rechecked, realised i'd misunderstood the specification and it was not mis-priced at all.  I wonder if thats happened here.

Will that involve returning to 20 shillings to the £?  Hopefully using silver coinage, will help the silver price. 

I think the point should be don't go all in on a doomsday scenario or any scenario

It was different the last few times.  You may have noticed no proper property market correction for 30 years despite two recessions and a stock market crash.
