What does the name "Intrinsic Tender" mean?

The name combines two distinct ideas: "intrinsic value," the concept that a precious metal's worth comes from its physical metal content rather than any promise or counterparty, and "tender," a reference to currency and the act of payment. Together the name frames the brand's products as money grounded in real metal value.

What silver bars does Intrinsic Tender produce?

Intrinsic Tender produces silver bars in a range of weights, in both cast and minted styles. BullionFerret tracks 30 Intrinsic Tender listings across the dealers we compare, covering their available silver bar sizes.

Are Intrinsic Tender bars cast or minted?

Intrinsic Tender produces both cast and minted silver bars. Cast bars are poured from molten metal and have a raw, textured finish, while minted bars are struck from rolled blanks and have a more refined, flat surface. Both types carry the same fine silver content; the choice between them is largely a matter of aesthetics and, sometimes, premium.
