Yep, saw that. An ugly scenario that is becoming fact and getting closer to all of us.

I wonder if there will be a market for 1-ton blocks of zinc? Nice and heavy, hard to steal. A semi-precious metal perhaps. $1400 plus senoriage.

More condensed, but also cheaper, and with less utility, than 1-ton blocks of beef jerky... :)

One ton (2000 lbs) of zinc is 4.69 cubic feet. See: http://www.aqua-calc.com/calculate/volume-to-weight

A one ton block is 25" x 18" x 18". See: https://www.con-way.com/webapp/operatio ... ted_calc=y
