“Gold coins as a solid investment: the world's oldest currency is gaining popularity in Germany”

At a time when confidence in traditional currencies is waning, more and more people in Germany are turning to gold coins as a reliable investment. With a history dating back over 5,000 years, gold is considered the oldest currency in the world and has always been used by the powerful to stabilize currencies and economies. However, in the recent past, governments have increasingly relied on paper money and base metals as a means of payment, which has led to a loss of confidence in these currencies.

To protect themselves from the creeping expropriation of their assets and the loss of value through inflation, many Germans are choosing to invest their money in gold coins. These investment coins, also known as bullion coins, are a popular alternative for protecting assets. Unlike collector coins or coins for everyday use, bullion coins are primarily produced for precious metal investors. Although they have a face value, they are worth far more due to their precious metal content. They are rarely accepted as a means of payment at the supermarket checkout.

The growing interest in gold coins as an investment option shows that more and more Germans appreciate the security and stability of gold and trust in this proven form of investment.

“Gold coins as a lucrative investment: Why bullion coins at GOLDINVEST Edelmetalle are winning over more and more investors”

Investing in gold coins is becoming increasingly popular in Germany. In contrast to classic collector coins, which often have a value above the pure metal price, the prices of bullion coins depend directly on the development of the gold price and do not include a collector's premium. Many investment classics made of gold are available from GOLDINVEST Edelmetalle, including the Krugerrand, the Canadian Maple Leaf, the Australian Kangaroo and the Austrian Philharmonic, which are the best-known gold coins for investment.

Bullion coins are considered “investment gold” in Germany and must meet certain criteria in order to be exempt from the high VAT rate of 19 percent. These include a minimum fineness of 900 parts in 1,000 of gold, a mintage after the year 1800 and recognition as a means of payment in the past or to this day in the country of origin. In addition, the selling price must not exceed the value of the gold by more than 80 percent.

Modern gold investment coins are popular as a reliable store of value and are similar in function to gold bars. GOLDINVEST Edelmetalle offers these coins at attractive conditions, as production is standardized and the minting premium is low. This makes it possible to purchase gold coins close to the current precious metal price without paying a high premium. The pricing often remains stable for years, as the motif of the coins rarely changes, thus saving the cost of redesigns.

The most common denomination of gold bullion coins is the troy ounce (31.1035 grams), but there are also smaller units such as half ounces, quarter ounces and tenths of an ounce. The larger the denomination, the lower the premium on the pure gold value usually is. Another advantage is that all bullion coins are exempt from capital gains tax if the gold is held for at least twelve months. All these advantages make it increasingly popular in Germany to invest in gold coins with GOLDINVEST Edelmetalle as a lucrative investment.
