Have 5 100g silver sheets
and 2 50g gold sheets
There neat, and easily breakable to 1g bars, and Valcambi is a very good mint
I believe there are a few other members who have these.

Thanks I have done a search for Australia contact. Most bullion seller are not saying how much it is for a gold 50gm CombiBar. One is saying AU$56 per 1gm instead of AU$65. Can not figure what is the $65 example is all about.
At a bullion seller in Aussie is selling 1/25oz gold coins at over AU$90 each.

Yeah their premiums are way too high for me. Cool idea though

Yeah I'd like to have 1 or 2. I've always thought if it came to really needing fractional PMs I'd just take a pair of tin snips to a coin and cut it up  |

Fractional gold? That's what silver is for.

Not with gold (that has been out of my pay grade since @$1000)
But I did purchase a few sheets of the silver since they're
available in Canada and I really like them.
I believe there will be a strategic use for divisible(s)
in the future. And as for price, there has always been a
premium for smaller weights in PM. because of the art,
dyes and presses issues involved in producing them.

For gold I wouldn't pay the premium. Would rather buy 1/10ths.
For silver, isn't 90% dimes, quarters and halves a better deal? Everyone recognizes them, and not being counterfeited.

Once you break them, can you put them back afterwards? And is there any gold loss when you break them?

These are finally becoming more available in the U.S. I think I saw a post someone had that linked to them somewhere for $2600 a few days ago which seemed pretty reasonable. Fractional's are kind of popular these days, not surprised to see these finally going mainstream. I picked up a few sheets of the silver probably over a year ago now.

You cannot rejoin them once broken, and they are supposed to break clean and without any loss, although I don't plan to test that with mine anytime soon . . .

I like the idea, but not the premium.
