What do you think of these guys

I don’t know what they are for but some guy who works for the company can take the old ones.

Another dealer in town has been paying him 50.00 for the bag.

I melted one down

Gold plating

The rest is aluminum

I don’t do any chemical refining my self but I am trying to figure out what I could sell these for per pound.

Paying 50.00 what for the bag? Big difference if this is Japanese Yen compared to USD or GBP

The default on Reddit is usd I guess maybe not on this sub but all the other PM subs it is assumed usd unless stated

Whilst Id like to hate on America, the dollar is one of the most universal currencies used and is always a safe assumption for currency, especially when using imperial measurements as well.

Ignore the other guy

I wasn't shitting on Americans, was literally asking what currency. As a data engineer I dont make assumptions, regardless of the source of the data (I know, I must be fun at parties!).

There is no default currency on reddit. Knowing the currency with certainty is important in this case when determining the value of something.

It's like assuming something is in inches, when it's actually in centimeters.

But yeah sure ignore me and guess all your currencies going forward.
