I saw an older thread and was surprised that no one replied. I believe collecting these items is the BEST way to save glimmer for events such as the Iron Banner, heavy ammo syntheses (yes, I'd rather spend glimmer than strange coins on synths).
I've thus far saved 817 Axiomatic Beads, equating to 163,400 glimmer. I did not cash any in last Iron Banner, and still managed to spend over 100k (3 Spears, 3 Lashes, 2 sets of Chest armour and helm for the Titan, Goldspiral, sash etc). It's also interesting to point out that the beads do NOT stack up, and thus take only ONE space in the vault. We can become rich, Guardians :D

This is genius! I was about to rip on you like "why wouldn't you be cashing them in?!" Never thought of it as a way to horde money. Well done.
