@VikingWays @Diogenese_Shiplap @NoDoxGregBrady but yes! as far as stores of value go, the reason precious metals were prized is their weight to value. But - if you aren't planning on going anywhere, that doesn't need to be the optimizing factor.

The fungibility of your store is very important, and salt rates high on that. It means it can be very easy to give some away as a token of good will.
