Interesting development in the continuing human promotion of the three metals in Column 11 of the Periodic Table of the Elements.
This is in no way a recommendation, but I recently was made aware that there is a metals firm out there selling copper bullion.
They are billing it as "Copper is the New Silver". LOL!
And assert that "In a short time many will gladly take copperbullion for payment instead of iffy US dollar bills". Yes they wish!
Lest we forget about the "third stooge", or perhaps "the third place" as we continue to watch the awards ceremonies at this summer's Olympic Games, copper looks like it will not accept being outdone by silver and gold and is not giving up the fight.
Fortunately for these 3 metals there are many morons available among the human population to "take up the torch" for them.

It's hard to tell if this guy is a nut case or he is making fun of the metal fetish guys.
He is buying copper from bullion places and It's priced much higher than copper price is. He can't be serious.
money,
Could you just buy some plumbing pipe at Home Depot, it looks similar in color to what this guy is buying....
rsp,
I'm always looking for cheap sources of copper (wire or sheet) for winding transformers.
This doesn't look like a very good source.
From an old book on sheet metal working:
Copper sometimes occurs native, being then often covered with an oxide and carbonate crust; it is sometimes found in grains in sand, but is more generally obtained by the reduction of its ores which are very plentiful.
So, good luck with that copper bullion thing.
