  • “1oz .999% silver medallions”

    So the coins weigh 1 oz, and are, for all intents and purposes, 1% silver? According to a quick google, silver is worth $31.07 an ounce today. So these coins have 3.1 cents worth of silver in them.
    And he’s selling them for $100 each.

    Or is the decimal used differently here because the Guardian is British and in this context it means 99.9%?
    In that case it’s $31 worth of silver sold for $100, but that seems a downright generous investment when it comes to Trump merchandise, so I’m still guessing it’s 3 cents worth of silver.
