1. I have NEVER even seen one in person, never mind owning one! Good Gawd. nt

[milestogo]

2. I would have no idea what to do with a gold bar.

[Sneederbunk]

24. I would.

[relayerbob]

3. I plated my toilets with mine

[magicarpet]

4. I have about 5,000 or 6,000 10oz gold bars in the back of my underwear bureau draw..

The wife keeps her gold bars in the deep freezer with the dead bodies.

5. One of our board games uses "gold bars" as part of the game currency.

Does that count? If so, we have 12.

6. How many in a "Menendez?"

[Jerry2144]

7. I keep mine in my pants

Impresses people. More so now that I moved them to the front of my pants

[edhopper]

8. I think somewhere in my portfolio

is a Gold Fund, or a Fund which holds come gold. But that is it. Why would you need gold bars unless you are John Wick or paying off a foreign agent?

[Recycle_Guru]

9. I have one and only one

[Calista241]

10. So in my house on the New World MMO

I have a shit-ton of gold and platinum.

[LuckyCharms]

11. None. But I stack silver bars and rounds. n/t

[JI7]

12. How about coins ?

[Oldtimeralso]

13. I gave mine to CPAC

They needed to increase the size of the hands of the gold statue (icon or idol) they built to worship the "second coming"

[EYESORE 9001]

14. Never saw the point of keeping gold in any form

If/when the zombie apocalypse arrives, gold will assume a value based on the local market. A 1-oz gold coin could buy you a hamberder Fries are an additional 3 1/10-oz coins. It could be your last purchase anyway, as n’eer-do-wells and scalawags tend to follow people home who pay for stuff with gold coins.

[PurgedVoter]

15. I have exactly the number of gold bars Jesus told me to have.

But if you are a modern conservative Christer, you might think that number is larger than I do.

[Wednesdays]

16. I've owned some silver bars in the past as an investment, but never any gold bars. nt

[AnnaLee]

17. Really effective door stops.

Wrap in loud contact paper and no thief would ever bother to steal. No need to hide.

[mopinko]

18. close as i ever came is a couple gold coins.

1 yr i gave my 3 daughters ea a maple leaf to b set aside as getaway money, aka the price of an abortion or a plane ticket.

my ex gave me a couple for xmas 1 yr, cuz he had no idea what to get me.
he acknowledged that it was also getaway money, that i had every right to have a ticket out, cuz he cd be a colossal asshole.
sadly my cleaning lady lifted it, but did not use it to get away.

til the zombie apocalypse makes it worthless, a bit of gold will get u from here to somewhere else.
where that asshole was planning to go, and y, w 3 kilo, i wd seriously like to know.

let me say that a bit more simply- gold is getaway money. y did he think he needed 3 kilos?

[Torchlight]

19. I'll falsely assert I do so I can pretend it's normal.

Absent the pretense and all other things being equal, it's a damned odd thing to do for anyone who didn't come of age in the Depression to even consider.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

20. Between my 14K gold herringbone chain and Gold Slider..

A little over an ounce.

The 3/8" -16" necklace I bought in 1984 for $200 and the Black Hills Gold slider for $135 in 2005 from a Golddigger's shop in Deadwood, SD. It's all the gold I own.

Appraised today....over $2,500 if I were yo replace them.

[niyad]

21. Honestly, we all know that one keeps gemstones, not gold.

[Hekate]

35. Well yes, but those gems must be set in gold for max effect. I'm awaiting my tiara.

[niyad]

41. But how are you going to sew the tiara into a hem, or your corset stays?

[Hekate]

43. Oh noes!

[Clash City Rocker]

22. Hardly any

Gold bars are too heavy to carry around. Now diamonds, that’s a different story.

[Jeebo]

23. I have a few gold coins.

An Austrian Philharmonic, a British sovereign, a couple of French Angels. I used to have a lot more. I've never had or seen a gold bar.

25. I papered my walls with them

[Cadfael]

26. Where's the

“Robb is a dingbat” option?

[milestogo]

27. Wow, you've been here a long time.

[Cadfael]

31. Indeed

This has been my home since the dark days of Dubya.

[Carlitos Brigante]

39. Ha!! nt

[LastDemocratInSC]

28. At least 10 or 12.

[prodigitalson]

29. other

all the gold bars

[ripcord]

30. I don't have any bars but I do have a couple of coins

The Double Eagle and John Wick coins are among them, they are beautiful.

[LuckyCharms]

37. I've always wanted a St. Gaudens, but never pulled the trigger on buying one.

[sir pball]

32. OTHER...they're coins not bars thankyouverymuch

My grandfather had the prescience to buy FIFTY Krugerrands back in the day; the family has been selling them off for a while but we've barely dumped half of them. They were an excellent investment.

The platinum is in bars, and don't even get me started on the 5-pound BRICKS of silver he had in the bottom of his desk

[name not needed]

33. I have a room in my house where I swim in my gold coins Scrooge McDuck style

[nevergiveup]

34. I believe I have a wad of hundred dollar bills

stashed in a shoe box under my bed. It is an old Illinois corruption trick I learned many many years ago. There was this Illinois Sec.of State, Paul Powell from down in Johnson County Illinois who stashed stolen money away in shoe boxes. At the time I thought it was a neat idea so I stashed some hundreds away under my bed in a Buster Brown Shoe box. I can't recall for sure but don't believe the money I stashed was stolen.

[sanatanadharma]

36. Does my tequila gold stashed away count?

[ellisonz]

38. Can you help me pay me student loans please?

[former9thward]

40. To call these "bars" is ridiculous.

The media, as well as this OP, is greatly expanding their size for effect. They want you to believe it is the type of gold bars you always see in the movies. An oz. of gold is about 3/4 in. by 1 1/2 in. by 1/16 inch. You could fit $10,000 of these "bars" in a men's wallet without knowing they were there.

[Towlie]

42. I have enough to last a few months.

44. I made a bookcase using stacks of my gold bars to hold the bundles of cash.

[Retrograde]

45. No gold bricks, but I do have

10 or 12 yellow-colored bricks that I found buried in my yard. Also a lot of plain red bricks. Why they were buried, I have no idea.
