I agree.  Those coins sound like a very good way to do CS.  The only reason I 
do wire is because it is easier to form into convenient shapes, connect to, 
etc.  Plus, I make many gallons of CS, not only for myself and family, but also 
for friends and others, so I do need some quantities of supplies.

I don't really see the rationalization for trying to get cheapest
price for a one time in a lifetime expenditure. Just "Get 'er Done!"
A single coin will yield all you'll ever use.

Canada has produced Silver MAPLE LEAF $5 coins since 1988.  Each
contains 1 troy ounce of pure 99.99% SILVER and has a $5 face value.

Easy to find, and the purest silver coin in the world.
