    Buy GOLD!!

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...s-biggest-ever

    The Royal Mint has produced a 10kg (22lb) gold coin, the biggest in its 1,100-year history. It took 400 hours to produce the coin – described by the Mint as a “masterwork” – including four days of polishing.

    The coin has already been sold. The Mint did not give details about the sale or buyer, but said a coin of this calibre and craftsmanship would be priced in the region of six figures.

    The 20cm-wide coin was created by a team of master craftspeople at the Mint, combining traditional skills with innovative technology. Modern techniques were used at the start of the process, with engraving machines used to carefully cut the design on to the coin, which has a denomination of £10,000.

        Central banks are developing digital currencies to future proof the financial system.

        Meanwhile the Royal mint is making Frisbee sized gold coins for no apparent reason.

            Frantically digging up his back garden, trying to find his stash - That must be his gold they used!

            Actually, £10K doesn't seem that much for a lump of gold weighing 22 lb

                  At £40 a gram, it's worth £400k as it is.
