gold bullion coins:




These are "bullion" grade coins, intended for collecting and investing, not circulation and spending. Most of
them are 0.999 or better purity gold, and would quickly get damaged in circulation due to how soft the metal is.
They've got a face value printed on them and are technically legal tender, but their "melt value" is always much
higher than their face value.

Most of these coins have a hilariously small "face value" assigned to them which is far below the "melt value"
of the coin, highlighting how unsuited they are for actual circulation. I will also be including any recently
minted coins with a "circulation grade" alloy (such as 0.925) since they were never truly intended for circulation.

It's unusual to see a colorized gold coin. I'm speculating they may have found gold is much more difficult to
colorize, or that the people interested in novel color prints don't want to spend so much on a single print, or
a combination of the two.

It's also common for a mint to repeat the same design in both a larger and a smaller versions, with the only
visual difference being the face value printed on the coin.
