Bullion Bars
What are Bullion Bars?
Gold bars are called gold bullion bars or ingots. Gold bars range in weight from one gram to 24 kilograms. The word bullion derives from the old French words billon (from bille, stick) and bouillon – bubble on the surface of boiling liquid (from boilir, to boil).
Bullion refers to any form of gold whose value is based only on the quantity and quality present. This value is specified in terms of weight, Troy ounces, grams, or kilograms, and purity. Investment grade bullion bars have to have a minimum acceptable fineness is 995.0 parts per thousand fine gold.
Coins, such as the gold bullion Krugerrand, are called bullion coins because it is only the gold content that is being valued. However, bullion coins do carry a premium because they are minted and are widely recognized.
