Prices for the most popular one ounce coins are quoted daily in most newspapers around the world. Some of the most popular bullion coins are the American Eagle, the Australian Kangaroo Nugget, the UK Britannia, the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Austrian Philharmoniker, and the South African Krugerrand. They are all featured in the photograph above. Gold coins are traded throughout the world on a daily basis as an integral part of the international gold business, so they always have a ready market, and the spread between the buying and selling price is usually quite small. While bullion coins are normally purchased for their intrinsic value, they are also appreciated for their artistic appeal and beauty.
Coins make memorable and valuable gifts, are easy to store, easy to transport, and anonymous.
