Safest Investment Options

Indian is considered to be land of Gold. People In India were lot of Gold ornaments than in any other part of the world. Making India the Gold Hub of the world
In India, they have been urged to continue investing in Gold Coins since it
could provide a safer investment than traditional equities and bonds.

According to the World Gold Council (WGC), India could become the regional
gold trading hub if a number of changes were made, such as allowing the
Futures Exchange to trade in the spot market, enabling banks and financial
institutions to take part in the gold market and beginning bullion exports

Even when the stock market crashes or if the dollar weakens gold will
continue to be a safe option.

To help promote the idea of gold as a reliable investment, the WGC has
already made a number of recommendations to the government.

Among the ideas submitted to ministers were proposals to allow banks to
offer gold-backed investment products, gold loans for local jewelers and
the lowering of the customs duty on gold imports.
The Royal Canadian Mint took gold coin investing to another level in 1979
when it introduced Gold Maple Leaf coins to compete with Krugerrands,
whose tremendous success had proven a strong demand for gold bullion
coins.

Because Gold Maple Leaf coins were .999 fine gold, they achieved instant
popularity with gold bullion coin buyers who wanted to invest in pure gold
coins.

In 1987, Australia's Perth Mint introduced a 1-oz gold bullion coin, the
Australian Kangaroos Gold Coins with the image of the largest gold nugget
ever found on the reverse, the 2,284-oz Welcome Stranger nugget, which was
found in Western Australia in 1869. The new Australian Kangaroos Gold
Coins was appropriately named the Australian Nugget. The obverse of the
Australian Kangaroos Gold Coin carries an image of Queen Elizabeth II, as
do most Australian gold coins.

Since 1990, however, the reverse has carried the image of a kangaroo, with
a yearly design change. As a result, Nuggets became Kangaroo Nuggets.
Unlike the Australia's Perth Mint Lunar Series gold coins, Kangaroo
Nuggets have no production limits.
