Gold Products We Think You'll Love!

Few materials have shaped human history like gold. It is rare, valuable, useful, nearly indestructible and undeniably beautiful. People have treasured gold since the earliest days of recorded civilization, and it was one of the first metals humans worked, with simple gold ornaments counted among the oldest known metal objects. Across the centuries, gold has stood for protection, security and peace of mind.

The first gold coins were struck more than 2,700 years ago, and they remain some of the rarest money of the ancient world. Today, owning gold is easier and more affordable than ever, from gold bullion and gold dollar coins of many denominations to classic U.S. gold coins and modern issues from the United States Mint and other mints worldwide.

Worth its Weight in Gold

Gold's appeal has always come from both its beauty and its weight. Anyone who has held a gold coin knows the feeling. Gold is one of the densest metals, and first-time holders are often surprised by how heavy it is. A single cubic foot of gold weighs about 1,206 pounds, more than half a ton.

Where Does Most of The World's Gold Come From?

The world's largest known gold deposit is the Witwatersrand Basin in South Africa, where gold was discovered in 1886. Other famous gold regions include California, Nevada and the Klondike in North America, as well as large parts of Australia. Russia's Olimpiada mine is among the largest gold mines in the world, and major mining operations are also found in China, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

How Much Gold Is There in The World?

According to the World Gold Council, around 222,600 metric tons of gold have been mined throughout history, and roughly two-thirds of it since 1950. Most of it now sits in bank vaults, government reserves, jewelry and private collections.

That may sound like a lot, but gold is extremely dense. One cubic meter of gold weighs about 21.3 U.S. tons. If every ounce ever mined were melted into a single cube, each side would measure only about 74 feet, enough to fill between four and five Olympic swimming pools. And because gold is virtually indestructible, nearly all of it still exists today in one form or another.

Gold has been prized above other precious metals and used as a measure of wealth for centuries. Gold bullion coins are issued by sovereign mints with guaranteed weight and purity, and they are minted every year to meet demand, which makes them a favorite way for collectors to own gold. For larger amounts in a compact form, gold bars and rounds are available from most of the world's leading mints.
