Got some free time today, figured to play a bit with the camera to try and improve my essentially non-existent shooting skills. This is a goal I have set for a while but unfortunately having two pesky kids isn't of much help.
Anyways, my ever growing stack of silver Deutche Marks was perfect for that, especially now that all my pieces are in sexy plastic cases _
I guess I should start using this 1.9 oz bullion by 
10 Mark stack (left) vs 5 Mark Stack (right)
Silver value
In case you wonder, there are nineteen 10 mark coins and seventeen 5 mark coins.
Each 10 mark coin contains 9.68 g of pure silver whereas the 5 marks have 7 grams. Adding everything up is about 303 grams of silver ☺️
Let's check today's spot price

So we have approximately 225 $ worth of silver with today's spot. Yeah, it doesn't sound like much but I bet it could get me plenty of fancy Ukraine girls for a week or so when if the financial system collapses
Random silver fact of the day
Silver has been used for centuries as a natural antibiotic. Historically, silver coins were sometimes placed in drinking water containers or milk jugs to help prevent bacterial growth and keep the liquids fresh. Additionally, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, silver compounds were used in medicine as antimicrobial agents to treat infections and prevent the growth of bacteria. While modern antibiotics have largely replaced silver in mainstream medicine, there is still ongoing research into the potential antimicrobial properties of silver and its applications in various medical fields.

Ha! First time I hear about placing it in drink supplies! Protip: In a survival crisis, save your urine and throw a silver coin to keep it fresh forever!!!!
In other news, it's been quite a while since I managed to spot a new Deutche Mark design for my collection. But I did manage to find something similar yesterday and of course ordered some!
After the introduction of the euro, Germany started minting commemorative 10 Euro coins. But unlike the commemorative 10 Deutche Mark pieces, they are heavier, at 18 g a piece. And have a much higher purity at 0.925. A great improvement over their predecessors!
Soon I'll be sharing some of them with you!
Ok, my fellow plebs! That's it for today
