Coin of the Day
Gold has been used in coinage since about the 6th century BC. In more recent times, Gold under-pinned the value of the world monetary system until October 1976, when the United States Government officially changed the definition of the Dollar so that it no longer referenced the value of Gold; from this point, the international monetary system essentially became one in which paper bonds where exchanged, with the world reserve currency being that of the US Dollar.
In spite of this profound change, many people still invest in and collect Gold and Silver, with Gold Bullion Coins being amongst the most sought after items. We will periodically present you with a new 'Coin of the day' selected from our stock items and give you some essential information about each coin.
