A new way to stack...

Folks on the blockchain who collect precious metals are referred to as "stackers" because the metals are usually produced in various formats — coins (issued by a government as "legal tender"), rounds (similar in appearance to coins), bars, and freeform shapes — that can be stacked for easy storage. It is very rewarding to see the 'stack' growing larger over time!

The term "precious metals" refers to silver, gold, and metals in the "platinum group" which includes: ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum.  [source] All of these metals are counted as "precious" because of their rarity or their unique properties. All are valuable as trading commodities or investment collections. Silver, gold, and platinum are the most commonly collected for this purpose.

A few of the members of #silvergoldstackers community have accumulated quite a collection over the years they've been doing this. So, this post with the forklift is dedicated to them! 😁

The forklift is a toy that my late-husband had. Under normal circumstances, I would never have kept something like this after he passed. But, he did an amusing thing one time that made me laugh and decide to keep it, later. I had set up a special "altar" table in our home and placed a few "sacred" objects on it — my prayer beads, some of my more special crystals & stones, and other assorted objects. One day, I noticed that he had placed this forklift and a matching bulldozer toy on my altar table and positioned them as if they were moving my crystals and stones! It was hilarious! 😂

I was thinking one day recently about how some of the other women in the #silvergoldstackers community  —my #ladiesofsgs4eva sisters! 💖— were gathering quite the impressive collection of precious metals. I considered teasing one of them that she would soon need a forklift to help manage her collection, and 💥boom!💥 the idea for this post was hatched! 🐣

When the silver in your stack
Is more than you can pack
   you need a forklift...
   you need a forklift...

When the gold in your hold
Is gettin' out of control
   you need a forklift...
   you need a forklift...

When the goodies in your chest
Simply need to be assessed
   you need a forklift...
   you need a forklift...

So, to all the sweet, beautiful sisters in #ladiesofsgs4eva as well as the charming & dashing menfolk in #silvergoldstackers, thank you for your inspiration, guidance, and support on the stacking journey!
