Bars
Bar #1 holds 1 BALANCE, Bar #2 holds 2, up to Bar #10,000. Mint for 8 days, then melt any time to get it back.

Colors here are illustrative. Each Bar takes the colors of the BALANCE deposited in it.

Melt value
A Bar is worth at least the BALANCE inside it. Any price above that is for the Bar.
Vaults
Each Bar’s BALANCE sits in a separate contract. Only the Bar’s owner can melt it.
Gold bars
A gold bar is metal stamped with a weight and a serial number. A Bar is the same, made of BALANCE.
Origin
BALANCE came from Credits and Statements. Bars turn it back into objects.
