If you thought the days of corporate excess were over, you’re crackers. According to Bullion By Post boss Hailliday-Stein, whose online bullion company delivers gold bars and coins through the mail, a hedge fund manager ‘for a well known City bank’ recently placed a sizeable order – for cracker fillers.
The chap explained that he was after ‘something special’ to put in the crackers for the annual Christmas bash for clients.’The one-gram gold bars are about the size of a thumbnail so they are the perfect fit,’ explains Halliday-Stein. The hedge fund man promptly ordered fifty.
