Gold Coins

Gold coins are a popular and enjoyable way of participating in the gold market. Bullion gold coins are issued by many countries around over the world, including the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia and China. Some of the better known bullion gold coins in North America include the 24k Canadian Maple Leaf and the 22k American Eagle gold coins. Of all the foreign gold coins, the 24k Chinese Panda series of gold coins are perhaps the most popular and sought after by modern bullion gold coin collectors.

Due to popular demand for 24k pure gold coins, the United States, which has traditionally minted only the 22k American Gold Eagles, launched the 24k Gold Buffalo series of pure bullion gold coins in 2006. 

Nowadays, investors are spoilt for choice when it comes to buying 99.99% pure bullion gold coins. In the heat of the competition in the 24k pure gold coin market, the Canadians went one step further in 2007 and struck the 99.999% pure Canadian Maple Leaf gold coin.
