Scottsdale Mint’s Claim to Fame

As a relatively new entrant into the crowded arena of boutique mints, Scottsdale Mint has become known for a particularly ingenious coin and bar design it created. The Stacker Round and the Stacker Bar are designed so that they interlock when stacked on top of one another, similar to building blocks. The Stacker Bars are available in silver denominations of 10 ounces, 1 kilogram, and 100 ounces. The bars feature an interlocking beveled edge. The silver Stacker Round features a high-relief image of the mint’s lion logo and comes in 2 ounce, 100 gram, and 5 ounce weights. The three different weights can be stacked together. The design not only saves space but also makes these bullion products an interesting addition to any collection.
