    sixgun got a reaction from KevjustKev in Silver Bars?   
    100 oz bars are quite big - i had a few until they were lost in a tragic boating accident. They are kind of doorstop size below that nah, personally i don't see kilos as big and certainly not too big.

    We have gone back and forth over the argument of bringing silver into the country  - funnily enough i haven't seen exactly what i have posted above put forwards before - that is the rule that you don't need to declare less than £10 000 in cash.
    The British Government created the £2 coins. These round pieces of metal are £2 coins because they have the Queen's head on and are marked up by the authorities as £2. That is what they are, they are £2 coins. They happen to be made of silver but legally they are £2 coins.
    A green monster box has 500 x £2 coins. They are legal tender - they are money - they are cash. They don't become something else because the intrinsic value of the metal is worth more or less than £2.
    They are cash and 4999 of them is less than £10 000 in cash - so according to HMRC rules they don't need to be declared.
    If they were silver bars (not coin bars) then they would be dealt with as silver. These are coins and under the UK Coinage Act 1971, it is illegal to melt any UK coin produced after the 16th of May 1969, so these £2 coins are coins and it is illegal to use them as anything else (i.e. melt them down for their metal content).

    Well if you look at this HMRC webpage which deals with cash https://www.gov.uk/bringing-cash-into-uk
    This defines cash as:
    A coin is legal tender. Legal tender - notes and coins are cash.
    So if you have less than £10 000 in coins you don't have to declare it.
    A Britannia has a legal tender value of £2 - so that would mean if you had 4999 Britannias you would not have to declare this - that's 10 monster boxes (minus one coin).
    That is what it says. If they are calling Britannias legal tender, which they are and they put £2 on the coin, then these are £2 coins, how else is a person supposed to view them? Making out they were something else might well be a crime. This is simply applying their rules.

    I can't add anything. This bar is shown on the All Engelhard website, with a production run estimated at under 500 bars. Once I tried to track down some SilverTowne mint serial numbers - as I remember I actually contacted them directly - no records kept. It does make you wonder what the serial numbers are about if the manufacturer isn't keeping them, it's not as though that is a difficult thing to do. One could guess the 1980's and you would probably be right.
