Ever since childhood, I’ve been a musical person. At the age of seven, I started taking piano lessons. When I was a teenager, I began singing solos at community events. Not surprisingly, I adore wind chimes. Every time the wind blows, these beautiful music makers spring into action. Their soothing, melodious, and high pitched sound calms and refreshes me. I am amazed at the amount of eclectic wind chimes available for sale at various retailers. One can enjoy the music of pig, cat, or even seashell themed wind chimes. If you know someone who enjoys natural harmonies, wind chimes make a perfect gift. On this blog, you will discover how to buy the right set of wind chimes for your loved one. Enjoy!
Wind Chimes, the Gift of Music
What Countries Can You Buy Gold Bullion From?
Tyler Morgan
If you're looking to buy gold coins as an investment, then you might have come across the concept of bullion. These are coins that are made by governments for people looking to own physical gold. They are not used in day-to-day transactions.
Because bullion's value is its gold, not the government backing it like in fiat money, you can buy coins from all over the world. You never have to worry about the economy of the country that minted the coin. It has no effect on the bullion. Not all are the same, some have more gold content than others, but they are all essentially the same. They are gold.
Some people like to have a collection of bullion from all over the world. If you think this might be appealing, here is a list of the major bullion coins from around the world.
Australian Gold Nugget
These are minted in Perth. They are also very pure: 99.99 percent. That's exceptional quality. The coin features the kangaroo, an iconic symbol of Australia.
Canadian Maple Leaf
This is another 99.99 percent coin. It bears the image of a maple leaf, hence the name. An interesting fact about the coin is that it is the second gold bullion coin to be made available to the public, after the South African Krugerrand.
China's Panda
This coin is also 99.99 percent gold. You might think that the Panda would always feature the image of a panda, but it doesn't. The Chinese mint changes the design so that the coin always has a new image on its face.
Mexican Libertad
This coin is a beautiful example of a 99.99 percent pure bullion. It was minted for a few years in the early 1990s, then the Mexican mint ceased production. They resumed production again in 2000.
South African Krugerrand
This is the original gold bullion. Many people refer to gold bullion as "Krugerrand" weather or not they are talking about South African coins. This is because Krugerrands were the only gold bullion coins available for so long.
They are 91 percent pure. That is not as high as other models, so you might find that there is a slight price difference when buying the coin or selling it. However, Krugerrands have name recognition that the others don't, which might compensate for this deficit.
United States Gold Eagle
The Gold Eagle is one of the most popular bullion coins currently on the market. It is 91 percent pure. The design features the image of the famous Gaudens Liberty. Gaudens was an artist that was a master of sculpture who also had a keen interest in coin design. His "Lady Liberty" is one of the most famous images in the history of coin making.
