Most stackers do not stay single-metal forever. When gold, silver, and platinum each live in different notebooks, you never get one honest total without an hour of copy-paste.
One portfolio app can hold everything while still letting you think in metal-specific folders.
Folder ideas that mirror real life
Create a top-level folder per metal, or per goal (“long hold”, “gifts”, “sell later”). Nest tubes under mint if that matches your safe.
Help articles Adding a container and Nested containers walk through the clicks.
Display currency is a lens, not the metal
Your profile display currency formats totals—it does not change what you own. If you travel or bank in another currency, switching the lens can make monthly check-ins feel more intuitive.
Common questions
- Should I mix coins and bars in the same folder?
You can. Many people use one folder per metal and separate subfolders for “government mint” vs “generic rounds”. Pick what you will actually maintain.
